Description

This easy and delicious homemade Quince Chutney is best served as part of a cheeseboard or with meat. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1kg (2.2lbs) quince, peel, cored, and chopped
  • 2 onions, peeled and chopped
  • 250g (1 cup) dates, chopped
  • 750ml (3 cups) apple cider vinegar
  • 200g (1 cup) brown sugar
  • 5cm (2in) fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 2 star anise
  • 4 (2 tsp) mixed spice
  • 4g (1 tsp) red pepper flakes
  • 6g (1 tsp) salt

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed pan.
  2. Stir over a medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved then bring to the boil. 
  3. Lower the heat to a simmer, then cook, uncovered, for an hour or until the chutney has thickened. 
  4. Pour into hot sterilised jars and seal. 
  5. Label, once cooled. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute the dates with 250g (1½ cup) sultanas. Or, in this case, I double up on quantities but split the dates with sultanas.
