Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for a few mins until starting to soften. Add the remaining ingredients, increase the heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the peaches have softened – this will take about 45 mins. Meanwhile, sterilise your jars (see tip, below).

  • step 2

    Transfer the chutney to the jars, seal and leave to cool before eating. The chutney can be stored in a cool dry place for up to 1 year. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within 4 weeks.

RECIPE TIPS
STERILISING JARS

Wash jars and lids in hot soapy water, rinse, remove seals, then dry in a low oven for 10 minutes. Pot the hot chutney while the jars are still hot.

I had lots of peaches left on my tree, so decided to give this a go. I didn't have cumin seeds, or fresh ginger, so used ground instead. It's turned out great. Going to have some with my cheddar and crackers later. 😋

Supermarket substituted the peaches for nectarines and it worked just as well, based on some of the comments on here I reduced the amount of chilli a little and it’s undetectable so don’t be shy!

question

Has anyone tried liquidising? I’m just wondering if this might work as a jam also? Random but any quick tips on peeling the peaches? I feel like I waste too much so a way to remove the skin easily would be welcomed? Thank you - my first attempt so wish me luck!!!

Blanch the peaches in boiling water for a few minutes, the skin peels off easily. Just made mine a few minutes ago, it's lush. Good luck.

question

Would I be able to make this chutney with canned peache (in natural juice) and would I have to reduce sugar and cooking times ?

I have made it with tin peaches apricots, onion, finger chilli's and demerara sugar for my south African partner who said it is the best I've made

Beware of the chilis! Just made a batch and it was way too hot and we aren't normally afraid of hot food so I would definitely recommend starting with two or three chilis and then add more as it cooks down if you think it needs them. We're trying to save ours batch but not sure it will be possible.

I used 2 finger chillies, (should be 3) and only made half a batch. It's hot enough. (I eat pickled chillies wholesale, so I'm not afraid of hot either). If I'd used the 3 it would have been overkill. Can you make a second batch, without the chillies, then mix the two together?
