Perfect for an autumn tasting platter, tossed through grilled vegetables, or served as a flavourful side to your favourite curry dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 kg scooped feijoas
- 500g pears: peeled cored and roughly chopped into 1cm dice
- 500g apples (granny smith); peeled cored and roughly chopped into 1cm dice
- 2Â medium onions, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers ground ginger (or 3cm piece fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped)
- 1 cup raisins or sultanas
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers Sea Salt
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers Yellow Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers Mixed Spice
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
Directions
- In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Leave to stand for an hour to infuse the flavours and soften the fruit.
- Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer on a low heat for 1 – 1 1/2 hours until thickened - it will thicken more as it cools. Stir regularly to prevent the chutney from sticking to the bottom of the pan
- Bottle the hot chutney into hot sterilised* jars. Screw on the lids and leave to cool on a wooden surface. The chutney can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Once opened, keep refrigerated and use within 4 weeks.
