Recipes: Hot Plum & Damson Chutney
Ingredients:
1/2 pint cider vinegar
1/2 pint malt vinegar
1lb brown sugar (demerara or soft dark brown sugar)
1lb plums, deseeded, sliced in quarters
1lb damsons, deseeded, sliced in half
2tsp salt
1tbsp ground cinnamon
1tsp cayenne pepper
1tsp hot chilli powder
1tsp ground nutmeg
1 medium-large onion, diced finely
1/2 to 1 inch ginger, finely chopped
5 cloves
75g sultanas
75g raisins
Method:
Boil all ingredients together for 40mins, stirring regularly. Once the chutney can be "parted" by moving the spoon across the pan base, and the mixture takes a second to cover the base, the mixture is ready. Pot the mixture into sterilised jars (by earlier heating to 120C in the oven for 20mins).
