Reggie’s Peach Chutney

In the summer of 2011, a few months after I moved into my new condo in Montreal, my real estate agent came over for lunch and brought me a jar of delicious peach chutney. This is her recipe.

1 cup cider vinegar                             

1¼ cups packed brown sugar                   

1 tablespoon molasses                                  

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon                                          

1 teaspoon cumin                                         

½ teaspoon coriander

¼ cup minced crystallized ginger

1 chopped onion

1 pound Granny Smith apples (peeled & chopped)

½ pound dried apricots (chopped)

1 pound peaches (weighed after peaches are peeled and chopped)

1 cup raisins

½ teaspoon cloves

2 teaspoon ginger

½ teaspoon allspice

2 garlic cloves (crushed)          

1 cup water

• Combine all ingredients in a large pot.
• Bring to a boil. 
• Simmer about 45 minutes or until thick. 
• Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
