PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until tender. Add peaches; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add sugars, raisins, molasses, salt, pepper, allspice and 5 tablespoons of vinegar; bring to a boil.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

GINGERED PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes or until thickened and reduced to about 3-1/2 cups, stirring occasionally., Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.

PEACH & CHILLI CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for a few mins until starting to soften. Add the remaining ingredients, increase the heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the peaches have softened - this will take about 45 mins. Meanwhile, sterilise your jars (see tip, below).
• Transfer the chutney to the jars, seal and leave to cool before eating. The chutney can be stored in a cool dry place for up to 1 year. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within 4 weeks.

SPICY PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, stir together the peaches, raisins, garlic, onion, preserved ginger, chili powder, mustard seed, curry powder, brown sugar and cider vinegar. Wrap the pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag, and place in the pot.
• Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat uncovered until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. It will take about 1 1/2 hours to get a good thick sauce. Stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom.
• Remove the spice bag, and ladle into hot sterilized jars. Wipe the rims with a clean moist cloth. Seal with lids and rings, and process in a barely simmering water bath for 10 minutes, or the time recommended by your local extension for your area. The water should cover the jars completely.

DELICIOUS SPICY PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, cut a small "X" in the bottom of each peach using the tip of a paring knife.
• Put the peaches into the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a large bowl. Let them cool just until they are comfortable to handle.
• The brief blanching should make it easy to peel the skins off of the peaches by hand, but use a knife if you hit any stubborn spots. Compost or discard the skins.
• If you are working with freestone peaches , run a knife around the circumference of each peach. Its halves should be easy to twist apart. Discard the pits.
• If you are working with clingstone peaches, it's easier to remove the peach flesh from the pit using a paring knife. Simply slice off small chunks until you've removed as much as you can. Discard the pits.
• Chop the peeled and pitted peaches into approximately 1/2-inch chunks.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot over medium-high heat.
• Cook, stirring frequently until the peaches soften to the point that they start to fall apart when you stir the chutney. If the chutney seems too liquid at that point, raise the heat to high and continue to cook it until a wooden spoon dragged across the bottom of the pot leaves a trail that doesn't fill in with chutney even after a couple of seconds.
• Ladle the chutney into clean pint or 1/2-pint canning jars (it is not necessary to sterilize the jars for this recipe because of the length of the canning time). Leave 1/2-inch of headspace.
• Wipe the rims with a paper towel or clean dishtowel. Screw on canning lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

FRESH PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 130 Degrees C (270F).Use glass jars, either new or recycled, with an airtight, metal lid. If recycling jars, ensure that the jars do not have cracks or chips and the lids are in good condition. Discard any lids that are pitted or rusted. Wash the jars and lids. If washing by hand, use hot, soapy water and then rinse them well. Alternatively, wash them in the dishwasher. Place jars and lids on a baking tray. Heat in the oven for at least 20 minutes. See Note 4.
• To peel the peaches, half fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring it to the boil.Meanwhile, prepare a medium sized bowl of iced water.
• Make a cross incision on the base of the peaches and place them in the boiling water for approximately 20 seconds.
• Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and place in the iced water bath to stop the cooking process.Remove the peach from the iced water when it is cool enough to handle. Use a small, sharp knife to peel the skin. It will easily peel off.
• Cut the peach in half, cutting around the pit using the natural indentation of the peach as a guide. Gently twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them.Carefully remove the pit with a sharp, pointed knife and discard the pit. Remove any bruises.
• Cut the peaches into large chunks. (About 2.5cm or 1 inch)
• Place all the ingredients into a large, non-reactive saucepan or stockpot. See Note 5.Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves.
• Bring the chutney to boiling point and boil vigorously for one hour, stirring from time to time. Toward the end of the cooking time, the liquid will have reduced, and you will need to stir the chutney more frequently to avoid it catching and burning.
• Be aware that as the liquid reduces, the mixture may bubble and spit and you need to take great care. I suggest that to be on the safe side, you wear a garment with long sleeves to protect yourself and use a long handled wooden spoon.
• After one hour, remove the saucepan from the heat and stand for 10 minutes to allow the fruit to settle. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
• Remove your sterilised jars from the oven, and whilst they are still hot, fill with the chutney and seal the jars immediately.
• When the jars are cool enough to handle, remove any spills on the outside of the jars and label and date the chutney. Store it in a cool, dark, dry location. The chutney will keep for about one year. (See Note 6.)Set it aside for a minimum of one week, ideally two-four weeks. This will allow the flavours of the chutney to amalgamate and the vinegar to mellow.When removing chutney, always use a clean, dry spoon to avoid spoilage. Being extra cautious, I always store a jar in the fridge once it is opened.

• Combine the vinegar and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a low boil while stirring to dissolve the sugar.
• Reduce to a simmer and add the onion, garlic, ginger, raisins, and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes stirring periodically.
• Add the peaches and simmer an additional 10 minutes or until peaches are cooked (firmer peaches will take longer).

PEACH CHUTNEY IN INSTANT POT OR STOVETOP

Steps:

• Wash and dry peaches. Pit them and chop them into 1 inch pieces. Removing the skin is an optional step. I leave them on and the skin dissolves in the chutney.
• Toss the fresh peaches with juice of 1/2 a lemon to avoid browning. If using frozen peaches, thaw them out to room temperature and skip the lemon juice.
• Turn ON the Instant Pot. Use the biggest size you have, since the wider the surface area, the shorter your SAUTE time will be.
• Add peaches, sugar, ginger, salt, spices and vinegar. Mash the fruit to your liking using a Potato Masher or a Hand Blender. This will release some liquid (for fresh peaches), which will be needed to build pressure.
• Set Pressure Cook for 1 minute. Once cook time is done let the pressure release naturally (NPR) for 10 minutes. Manually release the remaining pressure by turning pressure valve to 'venting' position in Duo, or pushing down on pressure valve in Ultra models.
• Open the lid, turn on SAUTE (High). Keep stirring every 5 minutes or so. The chutney is done when it has reduced down to a jam-like consistency. For 4 cups of fruit, it takes me about 15-20 minutes, depending on the fruit.
• Towards the end, the fruit splashes as it boils, so using a Splatter Screen comes in handy. Use a Wooden Spoon or a Silicone Spatula with a long handle- it protect your hands from the splashes when you're stirring.
• When the chutney is thick enough, turn off the Instant Pot. The chutney will continue to thicken as it cools. Cool before transferring to a glass jar. You can follow the canning procedures if you like. This chutney stays good in the refrigerator for a few weeks and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
• Prep: Wash and dry peaches, pit them and chop them into 1 inch pieces. Toss the fresh peaches with juice of 1/2 a lemon to avoid browning. If using frozen peaches, thaw them and cut into pieces. Removing the skin is an optional step. I leave them on and the skin dissolves in the chutney.
• Cook: Heat a wide stock pot or pasta pot on medium high heat. Add the chopped peaches, grated ginger, roasted cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and apple cider vinegar. Toss well to combine the spices with the peaches.
• Simmer: When the fruit comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium and keep stirring every 5 minutes or so. Cook until the peaches have broken down. Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash some of the peaches. This helps thicken the jam naturally.
• Thicken: The chutney is done when it has reduced down to a jam-like consistency. Turn off the heat once the peach chutney has reached a desirable consistency. This chutney will continue to thicken as it cools down.
• Store: Let it cool completely before storing it in jars. This peach chutney stays good in the refrigerator got for couple of weeks, or up to 3 months in the freezer. You can also can it using standard canning procedures.
