Peach Ginger Chutney With Golden Raisins Food

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.

• Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium, and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Uncover; simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is soft and syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool before serving.

ONION AND GOLDEN RAISIN CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and salt and cook, stirring often, until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook until onions are caramelized and evenly brown, about 15 minutes more.
• Increase heat to medium-high; add raisins and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, until raisins have plumped and begin to brown, about 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup water and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the water is evaporated and pan is dry, about 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar and cook until evaporated; keep warm until ready to serve.
