Spiced Peach Pepper Chutney Recipes

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.

SWEET AND SPICY PEACH RELISH

Steps:

• Place the onion, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat over medium-heat while stirring to melt the sugar.
• Cook for about 5 - 10 minutes until the liquid thickens and has a syrup-like consistency.
• Add the salt, crushed chili flakes and cubed peaches. Stir to mix.
• Heat over medium-heat while stirring frequently until the peaches soften, and the liquid is mostly evaporated. This may take about 20 - 30 minutes.
• Scrape the relish into glass jars and serve as needed (can be stored in the fridge for about 5 - 7 days).

PEACH AND PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Place peaches, red bell peppers, and banana pepper in a large pot. Add vinegar, salt, and lemon halves; cook and stir over medium heat, stirring frequently, until peaches and peppers soften, about 30 minutes. Remove lemon halves with a slotted spoon; stir in sugar. Simmer until sugar dissolves and relish is slightly reduced, another 30 minutes.

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.

SPICED PEACH & PEPPER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a preserving pan or large wide saucepan. Add the onions and fry for a few mins until starting to soften. Add the ginger and cook until soft, another 1-2 mins.
• Stir in the spices for 1-2 mins to release their aroma, then add the peppers, vinegar and sugar. Simmer for 10 mins until the sugar has dissolved and the peppers are starting to soften.
• Stir in the sultanas and peaches, and simmer for another 45 mins until the chutney is pulpy rather than watery. Leave to stand for 15 mins; then, while still warm, pot into sterilised jars. Will keep for 3 months stored in a cool, dark place. Transfer to the fridge once opened and eat within a month.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH PEPPERS, SPICY PEACH CHUTNEY AND CHEESE GRIT CAKES

Steps:

• For the chutney: Mix water, cider vinegar, peach juice concentrate, ground cloves, garlic, ginger, salt to taste,sugar, jalapeno peppers and onion in a large saucepan. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. It will be liquid. Add cherries and peaches and simmer 15 minutes more to plump up the cherries and cook the peaches. Mix cold water and cornstarch and stir into chutney. Cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. You may want to add more cornstarch water if you prefer a thicker product.
• For the grit cakes: Boil water and add salt. Slowly stir in grits. Cook until thick. Remove from heat and add butter, cheese, cayenne and beaten egg. Set aside to cool slightly, then refrigerate. When the mixture is cold, form into patties about 4-inches across and 1inch thick. Place flour on a wide plate, eggs in another plate and crumbs in another plate. Dip patties first into flour, then into eggs, then cover with bread crumbs. Chill 30 minutes or up to overnight. Heat butter or olive oil in a saucepan and saute grit cakes until golden brown on both sides.
• For the shrimp: Saute peppers in olive oil until tender and set aside. Add shrimp and saute just until cooked through.
• Place a ladle of warmed chutney on a plate. Place grit cake in the middle. Arrange the shrimp around and sprinkle with peppers and cilantro.

FRESH PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put the vinegar and both sugars into a non-reactive pot, place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Add the red pepper, onion, jalapeño, raisins, garlic, ginger, salt and simmer 10 minutes. Add the peach segments and simmer an additional 5-10 minutes. If the peaches are still firm allow to cook several minutes more. If you would like the syrup thicker you may also allow to cook for a minute or two to reduce liquid.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pot. Serve at room temperature. Transfer all excess to a clean container and refrigerate, covered, for up to one week.
