Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
I hit the jackpot a few weeks ago at the Whole Foods annual peach sale, where I bought a 25-pound box of Georgia peaches. After making peach jelly, peach mustard, peach jam, and peach butter, I decided to make peach chutney with figs.
A sweet and sour local peach chutney bursting with mustard seeds and smoked hot peppers. Satisfies the same flavor profile needs as commercial Major Grey chutney, but taste and texture are better!
Sweet peaches, a nit of heat from chili peppers with brown sugar to bring in some caramel flavour and mellow roasted garlic! Amazing on baked brie but it will be great on roast pork too.
