Background
During the winter festivities itβs useful to have some home-made chutney in the fridge when friends or family members pop over for a drink & nibbles. You can make this super easy balsamic fig chutney last minute or ahead - it goes superbly with blue cheese, poultry, game and ham.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 300g fresh ripe figs
- 4 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp muscovado sugar, or to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and figs.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, then add the onion and sautΓ© for 5 minutes. Add a small spoonful of sugar and balsamic, then stir for a couple of minutes to caramelise.
- Add the chopped figs and a splash of water. Put the lid on and cook for 10 minutes over low heat. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar then cook for another 10 minutes, under cover.
- The figs should be soft now, if not, mash them with a fork.
- Turn up the heat and reduce it until all the liquid has evaporated and you a get a jam-like, sticky chutney.
- Let it cool, then transfer it into a sterilized jar or you can serve it immediately.
