I love Chutney but it is expensive to buy. Apples are plentiful and cheap in Nova Scotia (and many other locations) so I like to make this one to accompany samosas and anything else that needs a delicious kick. It's also very easy. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs apples (i have used many kinds) |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon cloves or 1 teaspoon allspice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed) |
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar |
1 dash cayenne (or more, to taste) |
Directions:
1. Coarsely chop the apples, with or without peel.
2. Place them in a medium sized saucepan with all remaining ingredients.
3. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer.
4. Simmer uncovered about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until everything is very soft.
5. Enjoy the delicious smell wafting through your house.
6. Cool and transfer to a sterile jar.
7. Refrigerate.
8. Sometimes the apples I use are harder and still chunky at the end of cooking, so I mash them with the potato masher.
