Steps:
- Halve the plums and remove the pits if possible -- if the plums are very firm then leave the pits in to prevent wasting any flesh. In this case, allow 2 1/4 lbs. in weight.
- Cut the peeled and cored apples into small dice. Peel and chop the onions. Peel and mince the garlic.
- Put the plums, apples, onion and garlic into the pan with 1 1/4 cup vinegar, mixed spice, curry, ginger and cinnamon.
- Simmer gently until the fruits are soft. Remove the plum pits (if necessary)at this point.
- Add the sultanas, sugar and remaining 1 1/4 cup of vinegar. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil steadily until the consistency of a thick jam, stirring occasionally.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, then spoon into the hot jars and seal down.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful plums: The quality of your plums will greatly impact the taste of your chutney. Choose plums that are ripe and have a deep, rich color. Avoid plums that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with different spices to create a chutney that suits your taste. Some other spices that work well in plum chutney include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Cook the chutney until it thickens: The chutney is ready when it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 30 minutes, but it may take longer depending on the amount of liquid in your plums. Use a large pot for cooking the chutney, as it will splatter.
- Use the chutney as a condiment or spread: Plum chutney can be used as a condiment for grilled meats, fish, or poultry. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or crackers. If used as a condiment, serve the chutney chilled or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Spiced plum chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So, next time you have a batch of ripe plums, try making this chutney. You won't be disappointed!
