Cherry Lime Fig Chutney
Deeply Dark fruity flavours
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen cherries pitted
- 2 tablespoon figs, finely chopped (or 2 tablespoon fig jam)
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- zest of 1 lime finely grated
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom or nutmeg or allspice
- 2 tablespoon water if needed
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar OPTIONAL..or 1 drop Stevia
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add cherries, figs (or jam), vinegar, lime juice + zest, spices + 1 tablespoon water.
- Cover + simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, until cherries have softened
- Remove lid, and continue to simmer until the mixture has thickened to honey consistency.
- I made this with fresh cherries but the thickening process could take longer if made with frozen cherries.
- When thickened, ladle into a glass bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve at room temperature.
- Makes 310 ml or about 1.5 cups of yummy chutney!
