Ingredients
- 2 large red onions - peeled, sliced & chopped
- Half a bramley apple - peeled, cored and coarsely grated
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 whole red chilli deseeded and finely chopped (or 1 tsp chilli flakes)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 50ml red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sweet balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Piece of fresh ginger (half an inch in size)
- 200ml water
- 25ml white wine vinegar
- 100g dried apricots
Method
- Chop one onion into small chunks in the Dualit Hand Blender chopoing bowl and thinly slice the other.
- Finely chop the garlic and red chilli and thinly slice the apricots, set aside.
- Place the onions, olive oil and 2 tbsp of brown sugar in a frying pan on a low heat and allow the onions to brown and caramelise, stirring to ensure an even cook. Add the garlic and chilli halfway through.
- Transfer the caramelised onions to a small saucepan, add the grated apple and apricots.
- Add the red, white and balsamic vinegar along with the water and stir in.
- Add the piece of ginger to the pan, use a wooden spoon to mash down and break up any large pieces and cover with a lid. Allow to simmer on a low heat for one hour.
- Once cooled, remove the piece of ginger and spoon the chutney into a sterilised jar with a lid.
- Store in the fridge for up to one week, ensuring the lid is securely on.
Top tips
- This recipe makes 1 x 450g jar. If doubling the quantities, add the original vinegar amounts, then if more is required, add a teaspoon at a time to avoid too much acidity.
- Serve with ham hock or a mature cheese on crackers or with our homemade Focaccia bread.
- Substitute apricots for plums if preferred, you can experiment with different fruits. Keep to the quantities and cooking method, Bramley cooking apples hold a fair amount of pectin and will set the chutney a little. Add this to any variation by finely grating.
- This chutney is a great addition to your picnic spread!
