The date chutney tastes great with grilled lamb, cheese platter or crackers.
Ingredients for 3-4 marmalade jars
- 500 g of dried dates
- 2 dried chili peppers
- 30 g walnut kernels
- 150 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
- 150 ml of strong red wine
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 5 tbsp red balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 40 g of dried cranberries
And so it goes
- The dates are pitted and chopped. Lightly brown the almond flakes in a non-stick pan. Slit the chili peppers and core them, crush them.
- Put the red wine and the orange juice in a saucepan with the honey and the dates, as well as the cranberries and the crushed chillies. Finally stir in the vinegar.
- Boil slowly, about 10 minutes, the liquid should be greatly reduced.
- With the blender, the mass is crushed, then the finely chopped walnuts are added and the pinch of salt. Boil briefly again and fill very hot in the screw jars.
- Sugar is not necessary, the dates are already sweet enough. The vinegar makes the chutney taste sweet and sour.
