Habanero apple chutney

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Cooking apples; peeled and chopped small
¼ pint Vegetable oil (not olive oil)
2 tablespoons Finely chopped fresh ginger
1 Entire head of garlic; peeled and finely chopped
12 Fresh habs; de-seeded and finely chopped (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons White mustard seeds
1 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds; soaked in hot water, drained
½ teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons Ground cumin
2 teaspoons Chilli powder
1 teaspoon Turmeric
4 ounces Sugar
8 fluid ounce Cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Salt

Directions

Heat the oil in your pan and gently fry the garlic and ginger until it starts to colour, then add the rest of the spices and cook for another three minutes. Add the vinegar, apples, habs, sugar and salt, and simmer for around half an hour until you have a thick, pulpy mixture. The idea is for the apples to completely disintegrate. Put into hot sterilised jars, seal at once with vinegar-proof lids and try to forget it for about 2 months. Then, enjoy! It keeps well without refrigeration.
