Instructions:
-
Prepare Fruit and Vegetables:
- Peel and chop the peaches into small chunks.
- Finely dice the onion.
- Chop the crystallized ginger into small pieces.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- In a heavy saucepan, add the prepared peaches, diced onion, and chopped crystallized ginger.
- Pour in the cider vinegar and sprinkle the sugar over the mixture.
- Add the cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground mace for that extra flavor kick.
-
Cooking Process:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves and the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chutney reaches your desired consistency. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes, during which the mixture will thicken and the flavors will intensify.
-
Jarring:
- While the chutney is simmering, prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water.
- Once the chutney is ready, carefully ladle it into the hot jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top to allow for expansion.
-
Sealing:
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth to ensure a proper seal.
- Secure the lids tightly onto the jars.
-
Canning:
- Process the filled jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation and seal.
-
Enjoy:
- Allow the jars to cool completely before labeling and storing them in a cool, dark place.
- This Peach Ginger Chutney is best enjoyed after a few days of resting to allow the flavors to fully develop. Serve it alongside your favorite dishes, or gift it to friends and family for a delicious homemade treat that’s sure to impress.
