"I have made a similar (if not the same) recipe to this a few years back. I took down this recipe to copy and lost it, but found it again. I found it on and A.B.C. site. It is more like a paste than a chutney and I remember it went perfectly with a meat/cheese platter I served. It does take some time but it was well worth the effort. The mustard seeds gave light crunch and fantastic texture and the garlic and ginger gave such a great flavor that went so well with the different types of cheese I served on the platter. Serving will depend on jar size."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place all ingredients in a large wide pan and cook until mixture comes to the boil. You may need to turn on the overhead exhaust fan for this, and continue cooking on a low heat until the liquid has reduced and the fig mixture has thickened ~ NOTE: this will take at least two hours and could take up to three to four hours. Timing will depend on the size and shape of the cooking pan used; a wide shallow pan will allow liquid to reduce faster than a deep narrow pan.

Step 2

When the chutney is ready it should have a thick jam-like texture.

Step 3

Spoon the mix into sterilized jars whilst hot and seal immediately and allow to cool.

Step 4

Store chutney for about 6 weeks in a cool, dark, dry place before using.
