Cherry Chutney
- 3 cups pitted and stemmed
sweet cherries(about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup golden raisins
- 3 tablespoon minced candied
ginger
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon*
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon each ground
allspice, ground cloves, ground nutmeg
- Combine all ingredients
in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, one
hour.
- Uncover and simmer, stirring occasionally,
until thickened, about 30 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature.
Keep refrigerated until ready
to use.
- Good with grilled chicken
breasts or roasted/grilled pork.
Makes about 3 cups.
* I used one 4-inch cinnamon stick
so that the chutney didn't darken.
