How to Make Papaya Chutney
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread cashew nuts on a baking tray and toast until lightly browned (about 8-10 minutes). Let cool slightly and coarsely chop.
- Peel, seed, and cut the papaya into 2.5 cm cubes.
- Peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic.
- Halve, seed, and finely chop the chilies (adjust quantity to your spice preference).
- In a large preserving pan, combine the papaya, cashews, ginger, garlic, chilies, vinegar, sugar, water, salt, cumin, and turmeric.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for 30-40 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened and reduced to your desired consistency.
- Sterilize jars by washing them thoroughly and then placing them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Spoon the hot chutney into the warmed, sterilized jars, leaving about 3 mm of headspace at the top.
- Seal the jars tightly with lids.
- Label the jars with the date.
- Let the chutney cool completely. Store in a cool, dark place. While it can be used immediately, the flavor will deepen and improve over 2 weeks.
