California Peach Chutney Recipes

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. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice and remaining vinegar. Serve at room temperature with ham, pork or poultry. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Finely dice the onion, peach, garlic and ginger.
• Warm the oil and add the onion, garlic and ginger. Soften the onion slightly.
• Add the cinnamon, cardamon, sugar and vinegar and stir to dissolve sugar.
• Add the peach, mix, then allow to cook around 5-10 minutes. The sauce will become a little thick but still have chunks of peach.
• Allow to cool and keep refrigerated until needed.

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.

PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Peel, pit, and cut peaches into 1/2-inch chunks; set aside. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion until soft, 5 minutes. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook 1 minute.
• Stir in vinegar, sugar, and cherries; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until syrupy, about 5 minutes.
• Add peaches; simmer until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. With a wooden spoon, mash some peaches against side of pan; thin with 2 to 4 tablespoons water, if needed. Cool completely. Serve with grilled meat or poultry.

CALIFORNIA PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine peaches, 1 cup white sugar, and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring carefully, until peaches are tender and syrup is thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Put butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven until butter melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Mix flour, milk, brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 cup white sugar together in a bowl until batter is smooth; pour over melted butter without stirring. Spoon peach mixture over batter, allowing the syrup to drip over peaches into the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cobbler is cooked through and bubbling, about 45 minutes.

SUMMER TOMATO-PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Submerge 6 empty half-pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
• Combine tomatoes, yellow peaches, onion, vinegar, sugar, raisins, lime zest and juice, ginger, salt, cinnamon, and red pepper in a wide, nonreactive 4-quart pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once it bubbles, reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Toward the end of the cooking, make sure to stir every minute or so to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot. Using a wide-mouth funnel, carefully ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Check headspace again and add more chutney if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from the top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and rings (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.
