Jam into chutney

Hi there!

Last week I picked loads of plums from the garden and made a LOT of jam! I decided to take some and make it into chutney...

It was so simple and took less than 20 minutes in total.

All I did, was cut up some onions and ginger, fried them in olive oil, added some spices and when the time came, I simply poured the jar of jam into the mixture and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, then poured all the mixture back into the jam jar. There was more now because of the added ingredients so what didn't fit in the jar, I put in a glass to eat up today. I didn't sterilise the jar because I know I'll be using this up pretty fast, but you should if you're doing more than one jar and if you'll be storing it. Here are some pictures (the steam makes the pictures look a bit misty but you can see enough, I'm sure):

cut the onion and ginger

I chose to add cumin, coriander and paprika to the mix too

start by frying the onions in oil

after a few minutes, add the spices

once the onions have softened and taken on a beautiful brownish colour, add the ginger

fry for another few minutes, then add the jar of jam to the mixture

funnel back into the jar, i used a chopstick to push the more lumpy onion and ginger bits through

there was a bit left over due to the added ingredients so I put it into a glass

I'll be using this today and tomorrow before using what's in the jar. 

Enjoy!

Loads of love,
