ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CHUTNEY RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place butternut squash on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Transfer butternut squash to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, combine apples, brown sugar, onion, vinegar, turmeric, chile powder, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, and garlic powder in a saucepan over low heat. Cover and cook for 15 to minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples and onion are soft.
• Add apple mixture to butternut squash in the bowl and stir gently to combine. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

SPICY SQUASH & APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large preserving pan, then gently fry the onions, ginger, chilli, cardamom, cinnamon, mustard and cumin seeds together for 5 mins, until the spices are aromatic.
• Stir the garlic, squash and apples into the onions, then cook for 10-15 mins more, until the onions and apples are soft and the squash yields a little here and there.
• Stir in the turmeric and sugar and let it melt around the vegetables. Simmer for 5 mins - this process almost candies the chunks of pumpkin, so that it doesn't entirely break down during the next step.
• Pour in the vinegar, season with 2 tsp salt, then bring the chutney back to a simmer. Cook, stirring regularly, for about 30 mins or until the apple has cooked down to make a squishy base for the chutney, with chunks of tender pumpkin here and there, and a little syrupiness at the bottom of the pan - you don't want the chutney to be too dry as it will thicken as it cools.
• Spoon the hot chutney into sterilised jars and seal. The chutney can be eaten straight away, or left to mellow in a dark place. You can store it for up to six months.
