Green Apple And Ginger Chutney Food

ENGLISH APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Before preparing the apples put everything else into a medium size pan and bring to the boil, stir well then lower heat to simmer.
• Grate apples onto a plate in order to catch juice (no need to peel) and place into a large pan, discarding the apple cores.
• Once finished add everything that's on the boil in the medium pan to the large pan with the apples in it.
• Bring to the boil, lower heat and simmer until thick and dark brown, approx 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring from time to time and making sure it doesn't stick especially towards the end. Chutney is ready when it has reduced by approx 1/3.
• Remove bay leaf, star anise and chilli(s) if using and jar immediately whilst still hot.
• Will keep for 1 month in the fridge or can be processed and canned for over 1 year (see home page and look for the canning link).
• Try adding a spoonful to stews and gravies or blend equal parts tomato puree with chutney in a food processor and put into squeezy bottles for a fruity ketchup the kids will love. Cheese on toast never tasted better so try mixing with grated cheese and grill until the cheese bubbles.

OLD FASHIONED SCOTTISH APPLE AND GINGER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place all the prepared onions and apples into a large preserving pan and add the remaining ingredients.
• Bring slowly to the boil and then lower the heat so that chutney cooks at a rolling boil.
• Stir the chutney regularly and make sure it does not "catch" and burn on the base of the preserving pan.
• Keep on cooking until the chutney is the consistency of a thick jam and all the liquids have dissolved.
• (A trick to check if it is cooked is to draw your wooden spoon across the chutney, if the space that is left fills up with liquid, the chutney is not ready yet!).
• Spoon the hot chutney into hot and sterile jars and seal immediately.
• Makes about 4 lbs chutney.
• Store in a dark and cool place and leave to mature for at least 2 weeks.
• Will keep in ideal storage conditions for up to 2 years+.
