How to Make Papaya Chutney

  1. 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.
  2. Peel, seed, and cut the papaya into 2.5 cm cubes.
  3. Peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic.
  4. Halve, seed, and finely chop the chilies (adjust quantity to your spice preference).
  5. In a large preserving pan, combine the papaya, cashews, ginger, garlic, chilies, vinegar, sugar, water, salt, cumin, and turmeric.
  6. 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.
  7. Sterilize jars by washing them thoroughly and then placing them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  8. Spoon the hot chutney into the warmed, sterilized jars, leaving about 3 mm of headspace at the top.
  9. Seal the jars tightly with lids.
  10. Label the jars with the date.
  11. 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.
