About the bake

This delicious chutney is made with delicious unrefined molasses sugar, and would be great for a Christmas gift. 

10 ingredients4 steps

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Place the molasses sugar, vinegar and cranberry juice in a large pan and stir over a medium-low heat, until the sugar has mostly dissolved.

      Ingredients for this step

      • Billington's Unrefined Molasses Sugar (300g)
      • Red wine vinegar (100ml)
      • Cranberry juice (200ml)
    2. Step 2

      Add the rest of the ingredients, increase the heat and bring to the boil before lowering again to a simmer. Continue to cook over a low heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

      Ingredients for this step

      • Plums (stoned & roughly chopped) (550g)
      • Red onion (200g)
      • Red chillies (roughly chopped) (2)
      • Garlic cloves (2)
      • Lime (juice only) (1/2)
      • Salt (1 tsp)
    3. Step 3

      The chutney is ready when the liquid has reduced and only a small amount of sticky syrup surrounds the fruit.

    4. Step 4

      Fill a sterilised jar with the hot chutney. Leave to cool and store in the fridge for up to a month.

    Such lovely and very tasty chutney. Ingredients made 3 small jars I find using small means it's eaten up quickly. I also only used 1 chilli as the chilli's I got were the plumper ones not the very thin ones. Perfect chutney will be making some more in the New Year.

    I've made this yummy chutney. Just opened my first jar as the quantity made 3 small jars couldn't wait till Christmas but did make it 2 months ago. It has a lovely warming taste love it. I only added one chilli though and I think that's plenty of heat.
