I've been trying to recreate the apple chutney from Piper's Pub, the Irish Pub around the corner. Their apple chutney is on their Ploughman's Platter and is soooo good!! They won't give out the recipe or even tell me the ingredients. Last night I came really close! It's not exactly the same, but it's still wicked good!!
The pics are in kind of a funky order from the actual ingredients since I was added and tweaking as I went along trying to get it right. Also they might not reflect the actual quantity in the recipe... so don't just go by the pics. =)
What you'll need:
3 granny smith apples, thinly sliced & chopped
2 red onions, thinly sliced
3 figs, chopped
2/3 C raisins
1/2 C apple cider
1/2 C apple cider vinegar
1/3 C brown sugar
2 TBLS molasses
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cloves
cooking oil
Add a little bit of oil to the bottom of a good sized pot. Let it heat up.
Then toss in your thinly sliced onions.
Cook until well caramelized.
Next add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar.
Then add 1/2 cup apple cider.
Stir that around, scraping up all the yummy little brown bits in the bottom of the pan.
Then add your thinly sliced & chopped apples. (I should have cut my slices in half so they were shorter)
Give that a stir.
Next up is your chopped figs.
Give them a stir.
And add your raisins. Give it a stir.
Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Add 1/2 tsp allspice
Add 1/4 tsp cloves
And 1/3 cup brown sugar
Then 2 TBLS molasses
Give it all a good stir and cook on low for 1.5 to 2 hours.
Makes about 4 cups.
Serve this warm with roast pork... as an appetizer with crackers or good bread.... This morning I had some on a toasted sesame seed bagel with cream cheese.
It was WICKED good!!!!
Enjoy!!
This part is easier since the pics are a little wonky!
