Question 2

How do you store this chutney?

Accepted Answer

This white grape and mint chutney needs to be stored in a cool, dark place. Once you open it, keep it in the refrigerator.

Question 3

How long does chutney last?

Accepted Answer

Unopened, this chutney will last for 18 months. However, once you’ve opened it and transferred it to the refrigerator, you’ll have to use it within a month.

Question 4

Do you need to let this chutney mature?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this chutney gets better with age!

Avoid the temptation to pop the lid and dive in! Give it at least a month for the flavors to really settle in.

You’ll be amazed at how much the fragrant mint comes through and how the richness and depth of the chutney develops.

Question 5

What type of apples should I use?

Accepted Answer

For chutney recipes that call for apples, you should go for a tart apple that can hold together when cooked for a long time.

Look for a traditional cooking apple, like a Granny Smith or a Bramley.

Question 6

Should I chop up the grapes or leave them whole?

Accepted Answer

For this recipe, I left them whole. It seemed like an interesting experiment – big sweet grapes, with that explosive fruity flavor popping out amid the luscious thick chutney.

I’m not sure though. I think chopping or halving the grapes gives a better overall texture to the chutney. Feel free to experiment and decide for yourself!

Question 7

Can I make this chutney boozy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can! If you prefer a bit of a boozy kick to your chutneys, simply stir in 125ml (½ cup) of your chosen tipple towards the end of the cooking time, then get your chutney sealed in the jar as quickly as possible.

I recommend going for something with a mellow sweetness, like a rum, cognac or brandy.

Question 8

Can I add more mint?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Feel free to up the ante on the mintiness of this chutney recipe.

Remember though, when you leave it to mature, the mint flavor will become a lot more powerful.

So, bear that in mind when adding the mint and be sure not to add too much, as it really could overpower the dish and throw it off balance.
