Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 Lbs (900 g) plums (Stoned | Quartered)
  • 2 red onions (Large)
  • 4 oz (115 g) sultanas
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (Finely Grated)
  • 1 Tbsp black mustard seed
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 5.29 oz (150 g) red wine
  • 12.35 oz (350 g) light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Ingredients: Halve and stone the plums. Chop the onions. Measure all ingredients so they are ready to use.
    2 Lbs plums, 2 red onions
  • Start Cooking: Add the plums, onions, raisins, ginger, mustard seed, cumin, chilli flakes, sea salt, and red wine to a large saucepan. Stir well to combine. Cover with a lid.
    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
    Stir occasionally until the fruit is fully tender and everything looks pulpy—about 20–30 minutes.
    4 oz sultanas, 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, 1 Tbsp black mustard seed, 1 tsp Ground Cumin, 1 tsp red chili flakes, 2 tsp sea salt, 5.29 oz red wine
  • Add Sugar and Season: Stir in the light brown sugar and an extra 2 teaspoons salt. Mix until fully dissolved. Replace the lid and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring now and then so nothing catches at the bottom.
    12.35 oz light brown sugar, 1 tsp sea salt
  • Finish and Bottle: Once the chutney thickens and becomes richly pulpy, remove from heat. Cool slightly with the lid on, then spoon into sterilised jars.
    Mature and Store: Seal the jars and let your plum chutney mature in a cool, dark cupboard for at least two weeks. The flavour continues to develop over time. Properly sealed, it keeps for up to six months. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
