Ingredients
- 200g light brown soft sugar
- 200ml apple cider vinegar
- 300g fresh figs, roughly chopped
- 1 white onion, finely chopped
- 300g plums, destoned and roughly chopped
- 1 apple, peeled, cored and grated
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 6 cloves
- 2 star anise
Method
- STEP 1
Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan and place on a medium heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hr or until the mixture achieves a chunky chutney consistency and any surplus liquid has evaporated. It’s fine to have small pieces of fig and plum visible. Stir occasionally to ensure the chutney doesn’t stick.
- STEP 2
Once cooked, spoon the chutney into sterilised jars and seal while still hot. Leave to mature for a month in a cool, dark place before using. Will keep, unopened, in a cool, dark place for six weeks. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within four weeks.
