Sweet Tomato Chutney Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seed, mustard seed, and cinnamon stick. Cook and stir until seeds are fragrant and begin to pop, about 1 minute. Stir in the fennel seed and then add the tomatoes. Season with cayenne pepper and salt. Pour in the water, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the tomatoes are very soft, about 20 minutes.
• Stir the sugar in with the tomatoes and set the heat to high. Cook until sugar has dissolved, then continue to cook while stirring constantly until the mixture is glossy, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork chops on each side until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for a few minutes.
• Serve pork chops with about a tablespoon of chutney spooned over the top.

Steps:

• Put the chopped garlic, ginger and 1/2 cup of the vinegar into the container of an electric blender and blend at high speed until smooth.
• In a 4-quart, heavy-bottomed pot with non-metallic finish, place the tomatoes and juice from the can, the rest of the vinegar, the sugar, salt and cayenne pepper (or, if you prefer, add the cayenne at the end, a little at a time, stirring and tasting as you do so).
• Bring to a boil.
• Add puree from blender.
• Lower heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until chutney becomes thick.
• (A film should cling to a spoon dipped in it.) Stir occasionally at first, and more frequently later as it thickens.
• You may need to lower the heat as the liquid diminishes.
• You should end up with 2 1/2 cups of chutney, and it should be atleast as thick as honey after it cools.
• If the canned tomatoes you used have a lot of liquid in them, a longer cooking time may be required, resulting in a little less chutney.
• Add the almonds and the raisins.
• Simmer, stirring, another 5 minutes.
• Turn heat off and allow to cool.
• Bottle.
• Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Place garlic, ginger and 1 cup of the vinegar in a blender container and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour into sauce pot with remaining vinegar and the rest of the ingredients through cayenne. (If unsure about the heat level, use only half the cayenne; then taste after mixture cooks for a while before adding the other half.) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to prevent scorching. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until mixture begins to thicken and become slightly syrupy. Sitr occasionally to prevent sticking. After about one hour of cooking time, stir in the raisins and almonds; continue cooking to desired thickness.
• When chutney is done, ladle into sterilized 1-pint jars and process according to instructions. Alternately, let jars cool completely and store in the refrigerator. Chutney will keep for several months.
