Spiced Persimmon Chutney
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
I lived in New Zealand for a short time in the mid-80s and my landlord, Dulcie Peterson, made the most wonderful persimmon chutney. I've always regretted not getting her recipe, but I found this one offered by Bon Appetit. I haven't tried it yet, but hope to soon. I don't recall Dulcie's being particularly spicy, but I'm hoping to enjoy this recipe as much as I did hers.

I do love chutney, but am not so keen on the 'heat' so I used just a third of the jalapeno & without the seeds! And I'm another one who didn't peel the fruit, but other than those things, I pretty much followed the recipe & the chutney, for us, was absolutely great tasting! Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend]1Reply

This recipe is delicious & so so easy. I'm no expert on Chutney making but I can't make enough. I have used both Lime & Lemon juice and found Lime to have a better flavour. I don't have a lot of time so I didn't bother to peel the apples or persimmons and it was fine, no skins floated to the surface and the persimmons kept their brilliant orange colour.1Reply
