Description

This chutney closely resembles imported Indian chutneys and is good with all curry dishes. It is also great with cream cheese and crackers.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds sliced peeled peaches
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 5 ounces chopped preserved ginger
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seed
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 4 cups apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup pickling spice
