Mary Cadogan shares her secrets for easy
fruit chutney Photographs ian waLLace
If you are new to preserving,
this fresh apricot chutney is a
great place to start. Its a
favourite of mine, as it makes
the most of the short apricot
season, and the slightly tart
avour of this fruit balances
well with the spices.
When making a chutney,
its important to chop
everything nely so that
you get the perfect balance
of sweetness, sharpness and spiciness in every spoonful.
Hard fruits such as apples and pears can be chopped in
the food processor. However, with apricots and other more
delicate fruits such as peaches and plums, its best to chop
them by hand to achieve a slightly chunky texture.
The quantities of sugar and vinegar are very important,
not only for the balance of avour, but also to keep it at its
best so measure everything carefully before you start.
In this recipe, all the ingredients except the sugar are
rst cooked gently to soften them, then the sugar is added
and the mixture boiled hard until it is pulpy. It is crucial at
this stage not to overcook the chutney, as the sugar can
burn and spoil the avour and colour. So watch it like a
hawk and give it the occasional stir to prevent it catching
on the bottom of your (preferably heavy-based) pan.
