Evil Chilli Chutney recipe

[T-lady]

For those of you with a serious glut of chillis try this ...

1lb chillies (I use red, green, yellow - whatever)
4 tbsp cumin
2 tbsp tumeric
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 oz grated fresh ginger
1/4 pint groundnut oil
1/4 pint white wine vinegar

Combine all ingredients except the sugar and vinegar in a pan and fry gently for 15 minutes.
Add sugar and vinegar, cover and boil for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

Pot up into hot jars and seal.


This'll keep for at least 12 months and just keeps getting hotter!

Chilli Chutney

That's a lot of chillies! I only have half a dozen ready, so I'm making this one:

Chilli Chutney

about 7 small chopped chillies
2 large onions
100ml of vinegar
half a teaspoon of garam masala
4 tablespooons of brown sugar
1 clove of garlic, crushed
500 ml of water


Add all of the contents except the vinegar to a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered for about 30 mins.

Add the vinegar and simmer with the lid off for a further 20 minutes to reduce down some of the liquid, until you get a thickish consistency (chutney-like). Place in clean sterilised jars, and use within a year.

I'm just imagining it made with a lb of choc habaneros One in a kg of plums for jam gives a nice kick, one in a pot of plain yoghurt gives a seriously hot dip....

Tomato & Chilli Chutney

Tomato Chilli Chutney

400ml Red wine vinegar
400g Brown sugar
16 ripe tomatoes cut into chunks
2 red onions chopped
4 red chillis de-seeded and chopped
Juice of a lime or lemon
handful of coriander leaves, shredded (optional)


Boil sugar and vinegar together.
Add tomatoes, onion and chilli.
Cook for 40 mins until soft and thick.
Remove from heat, let cool a bit, then add juice and coriander.
Store in sterilised jars.... keeps for a year?

I've quite a lot of Twilight and Purple Tiger chillies - looks like I'll have to get me some jars...

[mrdinkle]

I have quite a lot of Prairie Fire, Demon Red and Bird's Eye (though not sure on weight) so this is tempting.

However, I think I will experiment with the Chilli Chutney suggested by Two_Sheds.

What type of vinegar does the recipe require? Standard Malt?

Thanks!

like the sound of these chilli condiments, saw a jar of chutney today in a deli called "that'll teach the b*st*rd" peinted just like that! what could they mean?.Must make an effort to grow chillis next year, any good time to start them?, going to try starting toms in dec/jan in conservatory.

I planted mine in the 3rd week of January, kept them inside on the kitchen windowsill and was picking ripe chillies in June (hand pollinated). They do like to be kept warm, so it depends on the temperature of your conservatory. If it is unheated, it will be too cold at nights for them.
Mine had a bit of a rest after a flush of fruit, but are all in flower again now, still in 6 inch pots in the kitchen. I do feed them with tomato food and have had a few problems with greenfly. How do they find indoor plants grown from seed and potted in new compost? I've got chocolate habs, scotch bonnet, hot lemon, numex and purple jalapenos.

Not a great chillie fan it must be said, but did grow the Iranian round chillies that some kind grape (sorry cant remember who) sent me.
Tried one before I came back to work and it melted me, even my SIL who was over said it had a bit of a punch and he likes his stuff HOTTTT!!!
Will try this recipe if enough have fruited when I get home.

I really like the sound of this. Have built a new greenhouse this year and it is full of chilli plants (as well as tomatoes and aubergines). I always have far too many chillies and will enjoy making this! Mike
