APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Note: For milder chutney an additional 1 quart of apples may be added.

APPLE CHUTNEY RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the apples well under running water and peel them. Chop them finely. You can also use a chopper.
• Pour oil or ghee to a hot pan or pot. Add the spices - cloves, star anise & cinnamon.
• When they begin to sizzle add the ginger & let it fry for a minute. Then lower the flame and quickly stir the red chilli.
• Add apples, sugar, cumin powder, fennel powder, pepper and vinegar.
• Stir and cook covered on a low heat until the apples turn tender.
• Then open the lid and cook further until almost all the liquid evaporates.
• Mash a small portion of this mixture with the spatula to give a thicker texture to the apple chutney.
• Turn off the stove when most of the excess moisture evaporates. (refer video or pics below)
• Cool the apple chutney completely and store it in a clean dry glass jar. It keeps good for several months if you keep it in a dry shelf.
