Peach Chutney Sweet And Spicy 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 CHUTNEY (SWEET AND SPICY)

Steps:

• Peaches - Sore an X at the bottom of the peaches and drop them in hot boiling water. Blanch them for 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then peel and roughly chop them.Pro tip - scoring an X at the bottom will make it easier to peel them as the skin shrinks.
• Combine - In a medium saucepan or small skillet over medium heat add all the ingredients except chili flakes. Pro tip - I find adding the chili flakes later preserves the color of the peaches.
• Boil - Cook on medium until all the sugar has dissolved then bring to a boil and let it boil for 2 minutes.Pro tip - At first the mixture will appear dry. As the sugar melts it will become thick and syrupy.
• Mash - Use a potato masher to mash the fruit. Reduce the heat to a low simmer or medium-low. Pro tip - mashing the fruit will help squeeze all the juice from the fiber of the fruit.
• Simmer - Continue to cook on a low simmer for 10 to 20 minutes. Then add the chili flakes and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes until thick. Pro tip - to make it less spicy omit the chili flakes. You can even throw in a handful of raisins for added sweetness.
• Cool - when most of the moisture has dried out, cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a sterilized mason jar and store in the fridge.

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.

SWEET AND SPICY PEACH RELISH

Steps:

• Place the onion, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat over medium-heat while stirring to melt the sugar.
• Cook for about 5 - 10 minutes until the liquid thickens and has a syrup-like consistency.
• Add the salt, crushed chili flakes and cubed peaches. Stir to mix.
• Heat over medium-heat while stirring frequently until the peaches soften, and the liquid is mostly evaporated. This may take about 20 - 30 minutes.
• Scrape the relish into glass jars and serve as needed (can be stored in the fridge for about 5 - 7 days).

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.

MANGO PEACH CHUTNEY

• Combine all of the chutney ingredients in a nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 45 minutes, stirring ocasionally, until thick and translucent.

SPICED PEACH & PEPPER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a preserving pan or large wide saucepan. Add the onions and fry for a few mins until starting to soften. Add the ginger and cook until soft, another 1-2 mins.
• Stir in the spices for 1-2 mins to release their aroma, then add the peppers, vinegar and sugar. Simmer for 10 mins until the sugar has dissolved and the peppers are starting to soften.
• Stir in the sultanas and peaches, and simmer for another 45 mins until the chutney is pulpy rather than watery. Leave to stand for 15 mins; then, while still warm, pot into sterilised jars. Will keep for 3 months stored in a cool, dark place. Transfer to the fridge once opened and eat within a month.
