Whether as a sweet and savoury accompaniment to cheese, as a sophisticated addition to meat dishes or as a surprising highlight on a snack platter - a homemade chutney is always a delicious addition. Chutney made from apples and onions is a particular favourite, with its balanced combination of fruity sweetness and spicy heat. You can easily preserve this chutney with an automatic preserving machine and have access to your stock at any time. This way, you can conjure up a variety of flavours on your plate in no time at all, even on stressful days. Let's go!
Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into small cubes. Peel and finely chop the onions too. If you are using sultanas, you can prepare them in advance.
Sauté the onions with a little water or oil in a large pan until they are nice and translucent. Then add the diced apple, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Bring everything to the boil and then reduce the heat.
Now the spices come into play: stir in the salt, mustard seeds, cinnamon, ginger powder and curry powder. If you like it a little spicier, add the chilli flakes too. Then stir in the chopped garlic cloves and sultanas (optional).
Leave the chutney to simmer over a low to medium heat for approx. 45-60 minutes until it thickens and becomes jam-like. Stir occasionally so that nothing burns.
Pour the hot chutney directly into clean, sterilised preserving jars. Make sure that the jars are completely full, but not filled to the brim (leave approx. 1 cm of space). Screw the lids on tightly.
Place the sealed jars in the preserving machine. Fill the food processor with water so that the jars are submerged just below the lid. Boil the chutney at 90°C for 30 minutes. This boiling process ensures that the chutney will keep for several months
After boiling down, carefully remove the jars from the water bath and leave to cool on a towel. Once completely cooled, check the lids for leaks - a secure vacuum seal ensures that your chutney stays fresh for a long time. Then store the jars in a cool, dark place. You now have a homemade chutney made from apples and onions that can be enjoyed at any time.
