Pomegranate Chutney image

Pomegranate is a berry, and is an excellent source of dietary fibre, folate and anti-oxidants. This recipe may account for one-a-day diet recommendations. This chutney is versatile - brush it over roasted/grilled chicken/fish, or use it as a dip with crisps; or simply spread it over warm, toasted bread; there are no limitations! :O) Freshly ground white pepper gives this chutney a subtle, complex flavour; chili powder makes it authentic, unmistakeably Indian - substitute to your liking. Chutney keeps for upto a week.

Steps:

  • Liquidise the pomegranate seeds and keep aside. (You may wish to strain the juice for a smooth texture, but this will not retain the full nutritional value of the fruit)
  • In a saucepan, heat oil and quickly fry the chili flakes and ginger for 1/2 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Throw in the raisins. Add diced apple, sugar and chili powder and coat well. Return pan to heat.
  • Add the vinegar and pomegranate liquid. Bring the liquid to boil, turn down the heat and cook gently until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add salt as desired.
  • Leave to simmer, stirring frequently until the liquid is no longer runny, but is thick and pulpy in consistency.
  • Remove from heat, cool and transfer into dry, sterilised jars. Refrigerate.
