How to Make Blackberry Chutney

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium red onion (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1-2 fresh red chilies (finely chopped, adjust to taste).
  3. Fry gently for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
  4. Add 1 pound (450g) fresh blackberries and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and ½ cup (125ml) cider vinegar. Mix well to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened considerably and coats the back of a spoon.
  7. While the chutney is simmering, sterilize your jars by washing them in hot, soapy water, rinsing well, and then placing them in a low oven (around 150°C/300°F) for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can wash in boiling water and let them air dry.
  8. Carefully spoon the hot chutney into the hot, sterilized jars, leaving a small space at the top.
  9. Cover the jars with wax paper discs (optional, but helps prevent mold). Allow to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, seal the jars tightly and store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy for up to 6 months.
