Spiced fig & plum chutney

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.
