CHUTNEY

4 kg ripe peaches
2.5 litres vinegar
1.5 kg brown sugar
240 ml chopped seedless raisins
250 ml chopped onions
250 ml preserved ginger
60 ml mustard seeds tied in a bag
60 ml chili powder
25 ml salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Chop peaches. (I used my food processor) Combine peaches, vinegar and sugar and other ingredients in a pot. Stir until sugar has dissolved and bring to the boil. Simmer stirring frequently till mixture is brown and thick. It takes a couple of hours.

My notes: I leave out the ginger and halve the amount of chili powder. I use mustard powder (1 teaspoon for each kilogram of peaches). I use white wine vinegar and generally use 2kg of peaches so adapt the recipe accordingly.
