How to Make Fresh Fig And Ginger Chutney From The Auberge

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the lid and continue simmering for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. The chutney is ready when it has thickened considerably and reached a richly concentrated flavor. Adjust cooking time based on desired consistency.
  4. If the chutney becomes too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water at a time, stirring until incorporated.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or a pinch of chili flakes for heat, as needed.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot chutney into sterilized jars, leaving about ½ inch headspace.
  7. Seal the jars tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for longer shelf life) or allow to cool completely.
  8. Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place for up to 8-9 months. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 4 weeks.
