apple, carrot & garlic relish
A taste of Autumn days - apple, carrot and garlic relish. Using local Limousin apples scrumped while out walking with Mr Eric le chien (from a friend's garden), flavoured with a hint of curry spice, garam masala and a good measure of ginger and garlic too. One of my favourite ways of spending a few hours on a chilly Autumn afternoon; occupying my mind with the relaxing task of peeling, chopping and the occasional stir. The best thing is of course ending up with a bountiful supply of jars filled with relishes, chutneys and preserves that you can give away to friends and use to stock up the larder to see you through the winter months ahead. 

 This relish is great in sandwiches, with cheese, served with curries, and stirred into gravies and stews. Bon appetit! 

apple, carrot, garlic & ginger relish


 preparation time: 15 minutes
cooking time: 45 - 60 minutes (depending on the size of your pan and the moisture in your ingredients)
makes: about 8 x 1lb jars 

cooking hints and tips:

you can change the mix of spices in this recipe to your personal preference. I have made this before with cinnamon sticks, crushed cardamon pods and star anise too.

you can scale the recipe up easily - but you will probably need to increase the cooking time. It's cooked when the relish is darker in colour, thickened and a loose jam texture. 

 ingredients: 
1kg apple - peeled, cored & finely chopped
800g grated carrot 
1 litre wine vinegar/apple cider vinegar 
1.5kg sugar
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp garam masala 
1 tbsp ground turmeric
1/2 tbsp hot chilli powder 
1 head garlic - cloves peeled & crushed 
100g fresh ginger - finely chopped/grated 
1 tbsp sea salt 

method: 
add all the ingredients to a large sauce pan/preserving pan, bring to the boil for about 45 minutes, stirring regularly (see cooking hints & tips).

 when it's cooked pour carefully into clean, sterilized jars and seal. Store in a cool dark place. Once opened keep in the fridge.

    What a glorious chutney! I've not made any for ages as my preserves shelf is full but I love the flavours in this one.

    Thanks for sharing with #creditcrunchmunch
