Jalapeo and orange chutney

5 cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
10 Oranges
2 tablespoons Jalapeo peppers, minced roasted, peeled, seeded
2 teaspoons Ginger, peeled and minced
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
6 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Cut 4 of the oranges, unpeeled, into thin slices and set them aside.

Grate the rind off one of the remaining oranges (there should be 1 tbs orange zest) and squeeze the juice out of all of the oranges.

Scrape the pulp out of the squeezed oranges and add it to the juice.

Combine the grated orange zest, juice and orange pulp, the jalapeo pepper, ginger, sugar, and water in a large saucepan. Cook the mixture slowly until the sugar is dissolved. Add the honey and the orange slices. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the sliced oranges are transparent. Keeping the orange slices intact, drain the mixture through a strainer, reserving the liquid. Set the orange slices aside and reduce the liquid over low heat until it has thickened; this will take about 30 minutes. Combine the reduced liquid with the orange slices; you should have about 5 cups.

Bake in a pastry shell for a light, refreshing dessert or serve as a relish on bread or crackers, or over cream cheese with crackers for an appetizer. Vincent's Cookbook by Vincent Guerithault ISBN 0-89815-566-5 pg 230-231 Submitted By DIANE LAZARUS On 07-14-95
