Vidalia Onion And Granny Smith Apple Chutney Recipes

SMOKED PORK LOIN WITH APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put salt, sugar, molasses, vinegar, garlic, mustard powder, onion, pepper, rosemary, Worcestershire, bay leaves and 1 1/2 gallons water in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil and simmer, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Add ice to cool down, then place brine in fridge overnight to chill down to 40 degrees F. Place loin in brine and let brine for 24 hours.
• Preheat a smoker for smoking at 225 degrees F.
• Smoke loin with apple wood chunks until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 4 1/2 hours. Let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with Apple Chutney.
• Combine the apples, raisins, stock, brown sugar, whiskey, black pepper, salt, cinnamon, bell pepper and shallot in a saucepan and simmer 1 hour.

SPICY APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Peel apples and cut into quarters. Remove cores, roughly chop, and reserve.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add mustard seeds, cover and cook until popping stops. Reduce heat and add onion, red bell pepper, and salt. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent. Stir in garlic, serrano chile, ginger, and allspice, and cook an additional minute.
• Add remaining ingredients, including reserved apples. Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat, until mixture is soft and aromatic, about 40 minutes. Chill before serving.

APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Set a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the butter; once melted, add the onions. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the onions are fragrant and translucent.
• Add the apples, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, vinegar, orange zest and juice, stirring to combine the ingredients. Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, then turn the heat back down to low and cover.
• Simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the cover and check the chutney consistency. If it's watery, allow excess liquid to cook off for 3-5 minutes, turning the heat up slightly if necessary. When finished, the chutney should be the consistency of applesauce.
• I recommend serving warm apple chutney alongside chicken or pork. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
