SHRIMP AND TOMATO-GINGER CHUTNEY BITES

Steps:

• Thread a toothpick through the tail meat and the other end of the shrimp, forming each shrimp into the shape of the number 6. Fill a medium bowl with ice water.
• Bring a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half into the water. Add the shrimp, and cook until pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to the ice water to cool for a few minutes. Remove the toothpicks, and refrigerate the shrimp until ready to serve. (The cooked shrimp can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
• Meanwhile, swirl the butter, oil and coriander, cumin and fennel seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat until the spices are slightly darkened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, 3 tablespoons water, tomato paste, vinegar, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, cayenne pepper and curry powder, and bring to a simmer. Reduce to a low simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally and mashing the tomatoes slightly, until thick, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the chutney cool completely. (The chutney can be refrigerated up to 2 days.)
• Dry the shrimp, and arrange them on a serving platter. Put a little mound of chutney on top of each (not on the tail), and garnish with a cilantro leaf.

Rewarm over low heat or bring to room temperature before using.)

TOMATO TOMATILLO CHUTNEY - 'TOM TOM'

Steps:

• Place the green tomatoes, tomatillos, raisins, onion, brown sugar, salt, apple cider vinegar, pickling spice, chili powder, crystallized ginger, and brown mustard seed into a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and stir until the brown sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat, and simmer the chutney until thickened, 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep chutney from burning on the bottom.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the chutney into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 to 20 minutes, or the time recommended by your county Extension office.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area. Any uncanned chutney can be refrigerated or frozen.

• Cover and refrigerate.
• Rewarm over low heat or bring to room temperature before using.

TOMATO PEAR CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a medium nonreactive saucepan, stir together the vinegar, spiced rum, sugar, onions, ginger and mustard seeds until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil over high heat. Adjust heat so the mixture boils gently and cook for 15 minutes to reduce the mixture slightly. Remove pan from the heat.
• Peel and core the pears. Cut them into 1/4 inch chunks.
• Immediately stir the pear chunks into the vinegar mixture to prevent discolouring.
• Return the saucepan to the heat. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium high heat. Add the tomatoes. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 50 minutes longer, or until the pears have cooked down and are softened but still retain some shape. (The chutney will be just slightly fluid but will thicken when chilled.) Let cool briefly.
• Pour the chutney into glass storage jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled and slightly thickened.
