Marmalade Apple Chutney
Recipe Type: Condiment
Author: Chef Michele
Chutneys have a long and diverse history. This means no one agrees what they are except that fruit is a central ingredient which is most commonly boiled with spices, sugar and vinegar. Vinegar, a central chutney ingredient credited to British influence, increases the shelf-life. Apples, popular in American and British chutneys, are used in this recipe but lemon replaces vinegar to brighten and complement the apple—so enjoy it within 3 days of making. [br][br]To make this chutney more “Indian-style”, you could add some mustard seed and coriander as a start.
Ingredients
  • Ingredients
  • ¾ cup of low sugar marmalade
  • 1 medium sized gala or red delicious apple, peeled and diced (about ½ cup diced)
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • Few pinches red chile flakes (ginger provides the primary heat)
  • ¼ teaspoon Indonesian ground cinnamon (Ceylon works also)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (red wine or cider vinegar can substitute)
Instructions
  1. [b]Fast non-traditional method: [/b]Mix ingredients together in a bowl. Taste, adjust as needed. Enjoy. [br][br]
  2. [b]Cooked method[/b]: Mix all ingredients together and either cook in a sauce pot on low heat until apples are soft or carefully microwave in a bowl until apples are soft. Taste, adjust as needed. Enjoy. Refrigerate unused portions in a tightly covered container for up to 3 days.
