Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 kg figs (fresh figs, roughly chopped)
  • 1 1/2 pounds apples (4 Granny Smith, peeled cored and chopped)
  • 2 yellow onions, chopped
  • 250 grams raisins
  • 150 grams ginger root (grated)
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 kg brown sugar (dark)
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 liter cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mustard seed (white)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
