Marrakech Chutney

"Chock-full of chunky apples, raisins and onions, this is a naturally sweetened dark chutney from Maggie Runacre of Brockville, Ont that was originally published in a magazine. It's especially good with ham or a ploughman's lunch. Use inexpensive blocks of pitted dates."

directions

  • Peel and core apples.
  • Chop apples and onions into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Place in a large saucepan with cider vinegar.
  • Add raisins, garlic and spices.
  • Bring to a boil, uncovered and stirring often, over medium-high heat.
  • Then, reduce heat to low and continue to simmer, uncovered, until apples are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove any pits from dates then coarsely chop.
  • Chopped, they should measure about 4-1/2 cups.
  • When apples are tender, stir in dates.
  • Continue to simmer, uncovered and stirring often, until dates have broken down and chutney is thick, about 45 minutes.
  • Stir frequently near end of cooking time to prevent scorching.
  • Spoon hot chutney into clean hot 500mL (2 cup/1 pint) jars, filling to within 1/2 inch (1 cm) of top.
  • Place hot lids over top, add rings and screw down until fingertip tight.
  • To store in a pantry, process jars for 10 minutes in a boiling water canner. Or store unprocessed jars in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

  2. I was going to cut back on this recipe, but then decided that I'd share it with several very happy friends ~ Everyone thought this was one of the best chutneys they'd had, & of course I particularly liked the combo of fruits uded! I'll definitely be making this one again & again, & intend to add small jars of it to my winter holiday gift baskets! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
