Best Grape Chutney Recipes

APPLE & GRAPE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a dry frying pan until aromatic. Tip into a mortar and coarsely grind with the pestle. Toast the mustard seeds in the same pan until they start to pop, then add to the other spices. Tip the spices into a large pan with the chillies, onions, ginger and vinegar. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the onions are softened.
• Add the chopped apples, grapes, sugar and 1 tsp salt, and bring to the boil, stirring. Boil hard, stirring from time to time, for about 15-25 mins until the mixture is thick and pulpy.
• Pot into warm sterilised jars (see tip, below), seal and label. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.

GRILLED DUCK BREASTS WITH NECTARINE- GREEN GRAPE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until transparent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the nectarines and grapes, and cook, stirring, until the nectarines are a bit browned, about 4 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, allspice, mace, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture just to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, build a small fire in one side of a grill, using enough coals to fill a shoe box. Salt and pepper the duck breasts well and place them on the grill, withy the fat side down, along the edge of the fire. Cook them for 6 minutes, being careful of flare-ups caused by fat dripping into the fire. If flare-ups do occur, move the breasts so that they are not directly over the flames. You want them to cook slowly, allowing the fat to drip off at an even pace and giving the skin time to crisp. Flip the breasts over and cook 5 to 7 minutes more. When the duck breasts are nicely browned and as firm to the touch as the heel of your hand, they are medium rare.
• Pull the duck breasts off the fire, allow to cool for about 4 minutes, then slice them thinly on the bias and serve with the chutney.
