Christmas chutney with goats cheese
Feeling festive? This seasonal snack is a real party-season crowd-pleaser.
- 750 g eating apples, peeled and cored
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 300ml apple cider vinegar
- 150g dried cranberries
- 100g sultanas
- 100g apricots, chopped
- 150g brown sugar
- 60g crystallised stem ginger, finely chopped
- ½ tsp. allspice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ½ tsp. ground cumin
- ½ tsp. ground coriander
- ½ tsp. salt
- Sliced goats cheese to serve
- Nairn's Rough oatcakes to serve
Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. Place in a large pan with the onion and vinegar. Cook gently for 10 minutes until the apples start to soften.
Stir in the rest of the ingredients and cook gently for a further 30 minutes.
Spoon into hot, sterilised, glass preserving jars with clip tops. To enjoy the chutney at its best, store in a cool, dark, dry place for about 2-3 weeks before eating. This allows time for the flavours to develop. Once a jar has been opened, store in the fridge and eat within 1 month.
Place a slice of goat’s cheese on 1 oatcake and top with 1 heaped tablespoon of the chutney
