PING: The Bobs, Jack, Bubba, and Anyone Else Interested: ˇAYUDAME! ˇPronto! Chutney Questions
Cross-posted to rec.food.cooking and rec.food.preserving.
OK, B&G, tomorrow's when I'll truck my Fair entries over to the Fair PTB. I signed up for a Chunky Fruit Chutney. I've entered my Dried Cherry Chutney in other years and it's won a couple blue ribbons. Howsomever, I'm still looking at a half a box of Colorado peaches (Gloria, they are SO good!) and decided I could use up some in a chutney. I've got a recipe (old Farmers' Almanac Canning Book) that involves peaches, onions, garlic, brown sugar, mustard seeds, vinegar, dried ground ginger, salt, a hot pepper pod. and raisins. I've sort of followed the recipe. :-/ BTW, I've quartered the recipe. Instead of the pepper pod, I used a 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes. Instead of the ground ginger, I used about 1-1/2 tbsp fresh grated. Golden raisins. It kinds looks like a lot of mustard seeds, but I'm hanged if I'm gonna fish any of them out. Directions are to combine and cook until thickened. How thick? I don't know much diddly about chutney. How thick is it supposed to be out of the jar? Am assuming it will thicken some when it's cooled. There's still some visible liquid in the kettle. Oh, I didn't mention the dried California aps that I sliced and chucked in there. (Dimitri, they're awesome -- God loves you and so do I.) I've got some sitting beside me and I can readily taste the heat (not too much of it, but definitely there) and the ginger (I forgot to mention the Ginger Peach Jam (about a 1/2 cup) that I chucked in there, too. I'm considering some lime juice -- I've got another recipe for a peach chutney that involves lime juie and candied ginger. Hey, this stuff isn't half bad. Talk to me about the thickness. It's got chunks in it - A Good Thing. Hell, talk to be about any of it. I've a mind to take it off the heat now and let it settle in, reheat it, and can it tomorrow before I bring it over. Yeah, that's the ticket. Hopefully, I'll have some of the collective wisdom of y'all. I'm countin' on yas. -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> An update on 7/22/04. |

It's been a good summer for fruit on the Western Slope. Peaches and plums have been terrific. We've had a cooler, wetter summer than usual here. No complaints! I haven't made peach chutney in years, but it's delicious. Your recipe sounds like one I've used. Good luck with all your Fair entries. Keeping everything crossed for ya! gloria p |

I got the chunky part ok. Mine are fairly solid, same as a butter or even fruit cheese, with chunks of fruits and raisins. Local Pakistani place called Naan and Chutney has a set of chutneys on the table. They run the gamut from runny liquid (the coriander/cilantro), syrup (tamarind), to what Pastorio's describing for the mango. I have in my fridge a commercial "lime chutney" I got from a local Indian grocery and it's chunky/solid. Also horribly bitter and terribly hot but that's beside the point. B/ |

Ellen The coriander/cilantro probably is. The tamarind isn't chunky at all, like a syrup so it's probably fresh from a paste. Sigh. You know what I mean. I don't know about the mango, but it's definitely not Major Grey's. I'm saying they're all chutneys and all different textures and consistencies. I'd like to know so I can either continue what I've been doing or stop doing it. B/ |
