Gooseberry and Ginger Chutney

Recipe Description

Can I recommend that you make a batch of this Gooseberry and Ginger Chutney at the end of the summer and then eat it right through the fall? I have one lone gooseberry bush in my garden which produces just enough berries each year for this chutney. Lucky for me! I love to add a bit of ginger and cayenne to this chutney to give a nice hint of heat.

I make this chutney by first cooking the gooseberries until they soften. Then I add onions and vinegar and cook some more before adding the rest of the ingredients and boiling until the mixture thickens. When it cools, I ladle the chutney into jars and store until fall.

To make Gooseberry and Ginger Chutney, you will need the following ingredients:

This chutney is fantastic. I used my garden gooseberries for the first time and it turned out great. The ginger adds a perfect zing. We enjoyed it on grilled meats and it was a hit. Definitely making more for the holidays.
