A Really Good Plum Chutney Recipe, Great Party Spread too

Something I developed over the past three summers.

PLUM CHUTNEY RECIPE

This makes approximately 8 pints.

5 lbs. of purple Plums, seeded but not skinned 4 cups White Sugar 2 cups Brown Sugar 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar 2 cups White Raisons 4 tsp Mustard Seeds 3 cloves Garlic, chopped fine 2 medium yellow Onions 5 Tablespoons Ground Ginger 12 oz. pitted dried (boxed) Prunes 2 Tablespoons Cayenne Pepper

Using a food processor finely chop (blend) the plums, raisons, prunes and onions. Add to a large pot along with the rest of the ingredients above and once at a boil, slow boil for 1& ¹ hours once itâs starts to boil. Important that you keep stirred every minute or so to prevent scorching. Have jars and lids ready and bottle hot.

This is delicious with Curry dishes but also as a party spread. Take a package of Cream Cheese and mold into a round with a depression on top. Spoon on the chutney and serve on a platter with good crackers and several small butter knifes. Between meals I sometimes subsbreastute small slices of sharp cheddar cheese for the cream cheese. With a glbutt of wine this has many times been my evening meal and I wanted for nothing more.
