Fennel and cherry chutney
Background
During the cherry season I buy large quantities in my local market - some for eating immediately, some for preserving, some for freezing. Thisย Fennel and cherry chutney is a great way to save these delicious fruits for later in the year and make really nice Christmas gifts. The quantities in this recipe produce 2 or 3 small jars, but when you've tried them you'll want to up the amounts proportionately for your next batch!
Ingredients
- 600g fresh cherries (pitted & halved)
- 1 large fennel (trimmed & sliced thinly)
- 1 brown onion (thinly sliced)
- 4 Tbsp brown sugar
- 130 ml red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 3 fresh chillies (trimmed & finely chopped)
- A small handful fresh mint (chopped)
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- ยฝ tsp ground cardamom
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a heavy bottomed pan over a low heat. Stir constantly for a couple of minutes until the sugar dissolves.
- Turn up the heat, stirring often, and bring to the boil.
- Turn the heat to low. Let it bubble away, stirring occasionally, for about an hour until thickened.
- Meanwhile, sterilize 3 small glass jars.
- Carefully transfer the chutney into the jars. Seal and store in a cool place.
