Dr Jims Tomato Peach And Pear Chutney Food

PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until tender. Add peaches; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add sugars, raisins, molasses, salt, pepper, allspice and 5 tablespoons of vinegar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice and remaining vinegar. Serve at room temperature with ham, pork or poultry. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

PEACH & CHILLI CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for a few mins until starting to soften. Add the remaining ingredients, increase the heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the peaches have softened - this will take about 45 mins. Meanwhile, sterilise your jars (see tip, below).
• Transfer the chutney to the jars, seal and leave to cool before eating. The chutney can be stored in a cool dry place for up to 1 year. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within 4 weeks.

LUCY'S TOMATO AND PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine the tomatoes, peaches, apples, onions, celery, vinegar, salt and pickling spice in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 2 hours, or until thickened. Transfer to sterile jars and store in the refrigerator, or freeze in plastic containers.

PEACH AND TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• PREPARE: Halve and de-stone the peaches, then cut into 1cm (½ in.) chunks. Cut a deep cross in the bottom of each of the tomatoes, place them in a heatproof bowl and for over boiling water to cover. Allow to sit for 1 minute, then refresh under cold water. Peel off the tomato skin, and discard. Chop the tomatoes roughly, halve and finely dice the onions, then peel and finely dice the ginger.
• BRING TO BOIL: Put the peaches, tomatoes, onions and ginger in a large, heavy-based, stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Pour over the vinegar and stir in the sultanas, mustard seeds, cumin, salt, chilli and pepper. Bring the mixture to the boil over medium heat.
• SIMMER: When the mixture begins to boil, turn the heat down and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the chutney from catching on the bottom of the pan. The fruit should soften, but you should still see visible chunks of peach.
• STERILISE JARS: Meanwhile, wash four 350ml glass jars in hot soapy water. Put them in a baking dish and heat them in the oven at 120°C / 250°F / Gas mark 1 to sterilise. Put the lids in a heat-proof bowl and pour over boiling water.
• ADD SUGAR: When the fruit has softened after 30 minutes, pour in the sugar and stir well until dissolved. You'll notice the chutney has become beautifully glossy. Turn the heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent the chutney from burning.
• LADLE INTO JARS: After 15 minutes when the chutney has reduced and thickened, remove from the heat. Ladle or pour the chutney into the hot, sterilised jars. To make life easier I recommend a jam funnel as it makes the task of pouring the chutney much easier. Make sure the rims on the jars are clean and free of any chutney, then seal with the lids and leave to cool.
• COOL AND STORE: When the chutney has cooled, clean the jars if necessary, label clearly with the type of chutney and the date (you would be amazed how easy it is to forget what is in one of these jars) and store in a cool, dry place. You can eat the chutney immediately but it will improve over a couple of weeks.

PEAR & DRIED APRICOT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients, except the pears, in a large, thick-bottomed saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered over a very low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook for about 1 hr, giving it a stir every 10 mins, until the mixture is syrupy. Add the chopped pears and cook for another 30 mins, stirring occasionally. Leave to cool completely, then store in sterilised, clean jars.

SPICED PEAR CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Prepare the pears and onions. Place them into a large deep saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until it is the consistency you want, stirring it often. Ladle into hot sterilised pint jars, wipe jar rims, and seal.

SUMMER TOMATO-PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Submerge 6 empty half-pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
• Combine tomatoes, yellow peaches, onion, vinegar, sugar, raisins, lime zest and juice, ginger, salt, cinnamon, and red pepper in a wide, nonreactive 4-quart pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once it bubbles, reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Toward the end of the cooking, make sure to stir every minute or so to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot. Using a wide-mouth funnel, carefully ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Check headspace again and add more chutney if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from the top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and rings (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

• Cook for at least 1 hour but no more than 3 hours. Check on it every 30 minutes and stir occasionally.
• Towards the end of cooking time stir the chutney more to ensure that nothing sticks and burns at the bottom. It will thicken when it cools.
• Pour into sterilised containers and seal with airtight lids. Enjoy as part of a cheeseboard!

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a large, wide, non-reactive (no aluminum, please) pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

• Mash last 15 minutes, if desired, for a less chunky chutney.
• Place chutney in clean jars and cool to room temperature.
• Keep refrigerated for up to 1 month. If canning for long storage, follow the directions for water bath canning and process for 15 minutes.
