Directions
Fruit Chutney (Zwt – South Africa), This recipe was entered for ZWT & has been modified slightly My source is: com/Chutney-Recipe html The intro is short & sweet This easy South African Fruit Chutney recipe is 1 of the simplest I’ve come across & is well worth the slight effort taken to prepare it (Yield & times have been estimated Times do not include standing overnight or waiting period to mature), used fresh and dried fruits as I could not get some of the dried ingredients here It is not Mrs Balls Chutney but it is an excellent substitute! The only thing I will do differently next time is to blend 2/3 if the finished chutney as there are too many bits in it for my taste Thank you for enabling me to have Chutney in Austria as well , This is very tasty I couldn’t find dried pears anywhere and since it is fresh pear season here, used those I just did half a recipe and got six 8-oz jars I will make a full batch next time to give away to friends Looking forward to using this after it ages for awhile! Sure made the house smell good! Made for Fall 2007 PAC UPDATE: Just tried a jar of this after it had aged and it is really good! Some real nice flavor combinations!
