DIRECTIONS:

To make the Chutney

  1. Add all the ingredients to a Dutch oven and mix with a wooden spoon.

  2. Cook the chutney at medium heat for 20-30, stirring until liquids reduce until the chutney turns a thick jam-like consistency.

  3. Pour the chutney into sterilized mason jars, place the lids, and water bath for 10-15 minutes at boiling point.

  4. Remove the mason jars from the boiling water and set them on a table until the tops pop. That is a sign the lids have been sealed correctly. If that doesn’t happen, refrigerate.

  5. If not canning the chutney, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 4 days.

To make the spreadable cheese butter board

  1. Add the cream cheese and the soft goat cheese in a bowl and whip it until it becomes a spreadable cream cheese mix.

  2. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a wooden board. Use a butter knife and add dabs of the cream cheese mix to cover the paper.

  3. Top with the spicy mango pineapple chutney, salted almonds, and basil juliennes.

  4. Serve with a side of a variety of crackers and breadsticks, charcuterie and grapes, or other fruits of your choice. And chocolate truffles.

Notes:

Making chutney is easy, but to achieve the best results, follow the below expert tips

  • Chutney requires a long simmering time to reduce liquids to achieve a thick jam-like consistency. Use a dutch oven or a thick large saucepan.

  • We recommend a Dutch oven as it retains the heat evenly, and it is helpful when simmering at medium heat or medium-high heat.

  • If sauteing, choose vegetable oil or grapeseed oil for sauteing. Both oils have neutral flavors preserving the chutney’s original tastiness.

  • If using whole fruits, onion, and peppers, chop them with a food processor.

  • Mince the onion (sweet or red onions) for a chunky consistency.

  • Add chopped apples for a jam-like texture. And red or yellow peppers for a savory, peppery note.

  • Replace the apples with golden raisins or other candied fruit if desired.

  • The mixing of apple cider vinegar and brown sugar provides acidity and sweetness.

  • For citrus notes, use orange, lime, or lemon juice.

  • Add spices such as a cinnamon stick, red pepper flakes (or cayenne pepper.) Those add warmth and spicy notes.

  • Use garam masala or curry powder for a classic Indian touch.

  • Use spicy mustard (powered or paste) and mustard seeds for a British-style chutney.

  • Store the chutney in airtight containers or mason jars. It will remain fresh for up to 4 days when kept inside the fridge.

  • Our recipe is canning friendly. Make sure to sterilize the mason jars and the tops.

  • And water bath the jars for 10-15 minutes on high heat (boiling point) to ensure proper sealing.
