Plum Ginger Chutney Recipes

PLUM CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Mix plums and sugar together in a heavy-bottomed stockpot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture turns to liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Stir salt, ginger, chili powder, cloves, and cinnamon into the mixture. Cook over low heat until desired consistency is reached, stirring often to prevent chutney from sticking, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust spices if needed.
• Mix vinegar into the pot and cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for 5 minutes more. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate and use within 3 to 4 weeks.

PLUM & GINGER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine the first 12 ingredients in a slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 to 4 1/2 hours or until the chutney reaches a jam-like consistency.
• Remove lid and let mixture cook on HIGH an additional 30 minutes to evaporate excess juice and thicken, if necessary.
• Stir in crystalized ginger.
• Turn off the cooker and let cool to room temperature in the slow cooker.
• Scrape mixture with a rubber spatula into clean glass jars (can use spring-top glass jars or jars with screw tops with new lids).
• Store, covered, in the refrigerator for 2 weeks before using to allow the flavors to mellow.
• The chutney will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
