Delicious Spicy Peach 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.

PEACH CHUTNEY (SWEET AND SPICY)

Steps:

• Peaches - Sore an X at the bottom of the peaches and drop them in hot boiling water. Blanch them for 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then peel and roughly chop them.Pro tip - scoring an X at the bottom will make it easier to peel them as the skin shrinks.
• Combine - In a medium saucepan or small skillet over medium heat add all the ingredients except chili flakes. Pro tip - I find adding the chili flakes later preserves the color of the peaches.
• Boil - Cook on medium until all the sugar has dissolved then bring to a boil and let it boil for 2 minutes.Pro tip - At first the mixture will appear dry. As the sugar melts it will become thick and syrupy.
• Mash - Use a potato masher to mash the fruit. Reduce the heat to a low simmer or medium-low. Pro tip - mashing the fruit will help squeeze all the juice from the fiber of the fruit.
• Simmer - Continue to cook on a low simmer for 10 to 20 minutes. Then add the chili flakes and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes until thick. Pro tip - to make it less spicy omit the chili flakes. You can even throw in a handful of raisins for added sweetness.
• Cool - when most of the moisture has dried out, cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a sterilized mason jar and store in the fridge.

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.

• Process in water bath for 10 minutes.
