If you want to make the perfect peach chutney you better tune in to hear Mawera Karetai

INGREDIENTS

1.8kg firm, ripe peaches

1 2/3 cups light brown sugar

Two cinnamon quills

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1 small red onion, sliced finely

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated

12 cardamom pods, bruised

2 fresh red chillies, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced (choose your chilli based on your tastes

Salt

·         Bring a large pot of water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Using a paring knife, score the bottom of each peach with a small X. Add the peaches to the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to the ice water with a slotted spoon. Peel the peaches, then halve them and remove the pits. Cut the peaches into medium dice.

·         In a medium pot, combine the brown sugar with the vinegar, ginger, onion, cinnamon and cardamom; stir to dissolve the sugar. Simmer over moderately low heat until the onion is slightly softened, about 8 minutes. Add the peaches, chillies and a pinch of salt and simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and translucent, about 1 hour. Remove cinnamon quills.

 

·         Ladle the chutney into preserving jars, tapping lightly on a flat surface to release any air bubbles. Seal the jars and leave to sit for at least a month.
