Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   To make plum chutney, you will need plums of any variety, as long as they are ripe. All defects, unevenness, dents, damaged areas are acceptable if they can be easily removed. You will also need fresh ginger, salt, sugar, salt, and some water. Vinegar and herbs optional. Spices play a big role in this recipe; there should be quite a lot of them and preferably varied.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the plums thoroughly and remove the pits. It would be great if the plum variety allows you to do this without difficulty.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place finely chopped ginger on the bottom of a small saucepan and add water. Bring to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add peeled plums. bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Now it’s time for the most creative stage. You need to add sugar and salt. The quantities of these products are indicated approximately, because... In many ways, the taste of the finished sauce will depend on the taste of the plums themselves. Instead of sugar, you can add honey or use cane brown sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add spices. Let it be a little cinnamon (ground or stick), ground black pepper, ground paprika, a little turmeric. Asafoetida instead of onions and garlic. Stir and taste. Sour, sweet and salty tastes should be balanced for you. If necessary, add a little vinegar, preferably apple cider vinegar, as well as chopped herbs (not hard). Bring to a boil and set aside.
