I just made some. The recipe I found uses ginger, an orange and zest, cider vinegar, sweetener, peaches...spice options included cayenne pepper (a little)and coriander... I opted not for these and added a nice amount of cardamom instead.

It's tastey, I hope it sets up better - it's runny right now, but I jsut processed it. I didn't cook it to thickness, I added some xanthan gum instead and got 8, 1/2 pints instead of 5 as my recipe said.

I know I always love pretty much anything made to suit your tastes. I'm curious to know your recipe and how it might be a bit different. I have been having onion curry relish topping a slice of your quick feta on pumpernickel bread.... oh my. I'm hooked! Next it will be a bit of peach chutney topping this. Perhaps that other white cheese you offered a recipe for around thanksgiving time (made with tahini and more) might be a yummy cheese for this and a bit more mild than feta.

This kind of treat almost seems like a dessert to top off a bowl of hearty lentil soup! Or perhaps broil a bit of our white cheese on top of a gluten "chik'n" fillet and top with chutney and a fresh spinach salad on the side.....I'm working myself up a large appetite!

I will search for it-- I think I used a mango chutney recipe and used peaches instead, but didn't get it on computer.

Found the recipe-- not saying this is the best one, just the one I've made so far. Try chutney on a cracker with smoked tofu or tofu cream cheese, BTW! See also the April/may 2004 Vegan Feast for vegan South African recipes to eat with your chutney (the "meatloaf" contains chutney, too)!

BRYANNA’S PEACH CHUTNEY

4 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped
3/4 c. diced onion
1 apple or pear, diced (do not peel)
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. cider vinegar
1 dried red chili pepper, crumbled
1 1/2 Tbs. grated fresh ginger
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1/8 tsp. ground cloves

Combine all ingredients in a large non-aluminum saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 35-40 minutes, or until jam-like. Cool to room temp, then place in covered jars and refrigerate. Or, can while still hot in 3 hot, sterilized 1/2 pint jars. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes. 3 cups.

Here are some that I have collected for future experimenting:

1/2 onion, diced fine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup white wine
4 ripe nectarines or peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped (see note)

Instructions
In a stainless-steel saucepan, heat the oil and sauté the onion, garlic, ginger, and chiles over moderate heat for about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar, rice vinegar, cinnamon, and white wine and cook until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped fruit and cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes on medium low, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Adjust seasoning.

Note: Canned chipotles are available in the ethnic food section of the supermarket. May be omitted for a less spicy chutney.

FRESH PEACH CHUTNEY

1/2 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup white raisins
1/2 cup white sugar 1 Tbs. finely chopped garlic
1 large sweet red pepper, seeded, diced 1/4 inch pcs. 1 Tbs. grated ginger

Put the vinegar and both sugars into a non-reactive pot, place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Add the red pepper, onion, jalapeno, raisins, garlic, ginger, salt and simmer 10 minutes. Add the peach segments and simmer an additional 5-10 minutes. If the peaches are still firm allow to cook several minutes more. If you would like the syrup thicker you may also allow to cook for a minute or two to reduce liquid.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pot. Serve at room temperature. Transfer all excess to a clean container and refrigerate, covered, for up to one week.




PEACH CHUTNEY
Recipe created by Rori Trovato
From the July 2002 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
Makes about 8 cups

You can take this sweet-and-savory peach chutney anywhere—but why not start at the top, over toasted flatbread and creamy (tofu)goat cheese.

* 1 large shallot, cut in half
* 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
* 1 clove garlic, peeled
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 tablespoon lemon zest
* 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
* 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
* 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
* 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
* 2 large peaches, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
* 1/4 cup finely chopped green scallions
* 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
* 1/2 teaspoon salt


In a small food processor, combine shallot, ginger and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped.

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté shallot mixture until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Continue cooking 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt, if needed. Let cool to room temperature. Serve with flatbread and goat cheese or with roasted or grilled meats.

(Chutney can be made 1 to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Bring back to room temperature before serving.)

Recommended technique: To peel a peach easily, quickly plunge it into boiling water for 5 seconds, remove it, submerge it in ice water, then peel.



From BC Tree Fruits;

PEACH CHUTNEY

The versatile peach is a good source of vitamin A - a powerful promoter of good health. Makes about 6 cups

6 cups (1.5 L) firm peaches, peeled, seeded and sliced
5 tablespoons (75 ml) Fruit-Fresh powder (I think this is vitamin c or ascorbic acid—BCG)
8 cups (2 L) water
½ cup (125 ml) gingerroot cut in 1/4" strips, 1" long
1 cup (250 ml) raisins
1¼ cups (312 ml) white wine vinegar
½ cup (125 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 large clove garlic (crushed)
2 cups (500 ml) brown sugar
1 cup (250 ml) chopped onion
2 teaspoons salt
Tie up in cheesecloth:
2 tablespoons (30 ml) mustard seeds
1 tablespoon (15 ml) hot red pepper flakes
8-10 cloves
1 stick cinnamon (crushed)

Combine Fruit-Fresh and water. Slice peaches into solution to coat all pieces of fruit. Drain peaches well and combine with remaining ingredients in saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, covered. Cool and let stand (covered) overnight to plump up fruit and allow flavors to blend. The next day, cook gently for 15 minutes, uncovered. Cool again, stirring occasionally. Bring to boil once again. Discard cheesecloth bag. Pour into sterilized jars, wipe top of jar and seal immediately.
