Cuisine South African
- 8 cups fresh, whole peppadews washed
- 200ml sugar
- 200ml whate grape vinegar
- 2 tsps coarse salt
- 5-10 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
Wash and deseed the peppadews (deseeding is optional).
Sterilize 2 bottles to prepare for storing. This recipe yields approximately two 250ml bottles.
Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process finely.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil on medium heat while stirring.
Reduce the heat and allow the sauce to simmer until reduced by about a third. The texture should not be too runny or too dry. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the chutney into the sterilized bottles while still warm. Seal tightly with the lids.
Allow to cool before refrigerating. For the best flavour, let the chutney rest for about two weeks to develop its taste fully.
