Anyone have a CHUTNEY recipe? I might need to make some of that as well - soooo many apples, so little time! LOL

Would it be ok if I used those apples that are not completely red?

I have a Apple Chutney recipe from my Ball Blue Book:

Apple Chutney

2 quarts chopped, cored, pared, tart apples (about 16 medium)
2 pounds raisins
1 cup chopped onions (about 1 medium)
1 cup chopped sweet red peppers (about 2 medium)
4 cups brown sugar
3 tablespoons mustard seed
2 tablespoons ginger
2 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons salt
2 hot red peppers
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 quart vinegar

Combine all ingredients in a large sauce pot. Simmer until thick, about 1 hour & 15 minutes. As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Pour hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Yield: about 10 Pints.

Note: for a milder chutney, another quart of chopped apples may be used.



Hope this helps.

I know this is off the beaten path but since pears were brought up....Has anyone tried a recipe for cinnamon pear jelly? It calls for 4 cups of pear juice, 1 pkg sure-jell, 10 to 12 ounce pkg of cinnamon candy (red hots) and 5 1/2 cups of sugar. I have not made it yet but wondered if anyone else has and what were the results? Anyone??

Never tried that Henry, let us know how it is, I'm wondering how strong the red hots would be....you first, lol!!

I've got my pears picked. I guess I'll be the guinea pig and try it out (cinnamon pear jelly) this weekend. I wonder if you can use apples in place of pears? I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'm canning my applebutter from this thread right now. The only thing I did differently was add one cup apple cider to it because I combined this recipe with some others I saw.

I made 4 pints of the Crock Pot Version and OMG is it ever AWESOME!
I eat two pieces of toast every morning with Apple Butter on it.... YUM!
