Peach Chutney In Instant Pot Or Stovetop Food

QUICK FRESH PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a low boil while stirring to dissolve the sugar.
• Reduce to a simmer and add the onion, garlic, ginger, raisins, and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes stirring periodically.
• Add the peaches and simmer an additional 10 minutes or until peaches are cooked (firmer peaches will take longer).
• Remove from heat and allow to stand for 15 minutes before serving. Leftover chutney may be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to a week. Once refrigerated the chutney will become thicker.

SPICY PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, stir together the peaches, raisins, garlic, onion, preserved ginger, chili powder, mustard seed, curry powder, brown sugar and cider vinegar. Wrap the pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag, and place in the pot.
• Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat uncovered until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. It will take about 1 1/2 hours to get a good thick sauce. Stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom.
• Remove the spice bag, and ladle into hot sterilized jars. Wipe the rims with a clean moist cloth. Seal with lids and rings, and process in a barely simmering water bath for 10 minutes, or the time recommended by your local extension for your area. The water should cover the jars completely.

INSTANT POT® PEACH SAUCE

Steps:

• Place chopped peaches in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and evenly sprinkle with brown sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, water, and cinnamon.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 6 to 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Select Saute function and cook, stirring and smashing peach chunks with a spoon until you have a thick, chunky consistency, about 2 minutes. Press Cancel to end the Saute function.
• Cool and serve immediately or store in jars in the refrigerator to serve later.

PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Cut a small X in the base of each peach using a paring knife, then add to the boiling water and cook just long enough to loosen the skins, 20 to 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into the ice water. Remove and peel off the skins, using a paring knife as needed. Pat dry, then chop the peaches into 1/4-inch pieces, discarding the pits.
• Combine the sugar, vinegar, red onion, raisins, ginger, lemon zest, cinnamon stick, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the peaches and return to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are tender but still hold their shape and the liquid is syrupy, 30 to 35 minutes. If the chutney seems dry, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
• Let the chutney cool, then transfer to a small jar and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 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.
