Papaya Chutney

DIRECTIONS

• Peel the papaya, scrape out and discard the seeds and cut the flesh into 2.5 cm cubes.
• Toast the cashew nuts on a baking tray in a 180 C/350 F oven until lightly browned.
• Let them cool slightly and coarsely chop.
• Peel and finely chop the root ginger and garlic cloves.
• Halve, seed and chop the chillies.
• Put all ingredients into a preserving pan.
• Simmer, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for 30 minutes, or until the chutney has reduced and thickened.
• Spoon the chutney into warmed sterilized jars, to within 3 mm of the tops.
• Seal the jars and label.
• Keep in a cool, dark place.
• The chutney can be used immediately but it improves if stored for 2 weeks before using.
