Background

Mango chutney is probably one of the world's most popular condiments and I've made it many times, but I felt like a change and experimented with this papaya and lime chutney. It turned out to be really tasty, a very pleasing variation on the mango theme - though not quite as fruity, it still has a great flavour. It will keep for a week or so in the fridge or for much longer if you store in a cool place using sterilized jars.

Ingredients

125 ml cider vinegar
250g soft brown sugar
800g papaya
1 red onion
125g raisins mixed dried fruit
zest of 1 lime
juice of 2 limes
2 clove garlic
1 tsp mustard seeds
¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

Peal and chop the papaya, onions and garlic. Zest of the limes and squeeze out the juice of both.
Heat a heavy-bottomed pot over a medium flame, add the vinegar and stir in the sugar.
When the sugar has dissolved, bring it to the boil, add the other ingredients and mix together thoroughly.
Reduce to a simmer. Stir well every few minutes, making sure it doesn't stick on the bottom as it thickens.
It should be ready in about 40 minutes (see Tip). Allow it to cool down a bit putting into jars.
