Homemade Chutney

[foodie52]

Made lamb curry the other night, using Jaz's recipe. After seeing the price of Major Grey's chutney, I decided to make my own : bought about $8 worth of mangos, some golden raisins and spices. I made over a quart for about $10. And it was really , really easy and tasted great!

Anyone else make chutney regularly, and if so, what kinds?

i have to make this lamb and chutney tonight. what cut of lamb did you use? sounds just too good

I use leg of lamb. My butcher cuts it into chunks for me. Anything else will be too tough and require much more cooking.

The recipe I used this last time is from egullet. It turned out really well. There are lots of good curry recipes out there, all of them different.

I put a couple of whole Thai chilis in my chutney while it was cooking down, to give it some heat.

One of my favorites! I made a homemade pumpkin chutney last fall -- it was fabulous on roast meats! And somewhere around here I have a recipe for a pear and cranberry chutney. Once you get the basic idea (fruit and/or vegetables, sugar, spices and vinegar) you can make infinite variations.
