Notes

Recipe Notes:

  1. Sterilize Tips: Use a boiling water bath for at least 10 minutes; add time for higher altitudes. Boil lids for 5 minutes. Use sterilized tongs or gloves. Fill jars with hot chutney and seal tightly. Check lids for a proper seal.
  2. Storing the Chutney: Transfer hot chutney to sterilized jars. Cool before sealing. Refrigerate for up to 1 year.
  3. Onion: Use white for a milder flavour or red for sweetness and colour.
  4. Nuts: Almonds are best; omit or add seeds for nut allergies.
  5. Spices: Salt, cayenne pepper, ground ginger, and optional white peppercorns and coriander seeds in cheesecloth. Use up to 4 serrano or other chilies instead of cayenne.
  6. Apple Cider Vinegar: Essential for the perfect finish.
  7. Nutritional Info: Based on 1 tablespoon serving, two 475ml jars yield approximately 63 servings.
