Ingredients
Tamarillo chutney
- 12 tamarillos
- 300 g apples, chopped
- 250 g onions, chopped
- 300 ml malt vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 3/4 tsp mustard powder
- 1/2 tsp mixed spice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped dates
Walnut digestives
- 110 g rolled oats
- 75 g shelled walnuts
- 110 g wholemeal flour
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 75 g butter
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Method
- 1Scoop flesh from tamarillos and chop. Place into a heavy based saucepan with remaining ingredients; simmer for 1-1½ hours, stirring frequently, until thickened and you can run wooden spoon through mixture without a pool of vinegar forming in the hollow.
- 2Bottle in sterilised jars. Serve on Walnut digestives (recipe below), with cheese, pickles and cold meats, or use in curries and stews.
Walnut digestives
- 3Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease a cookie tray. Process the rolled oats to a fine floury meal, then add walnuts and pulse to crumbs. Add the remaining ingredients, pulsing to form a dough.
- 4Dust bench with wholemeal flour and roll dough about 5mm thick. Cut into circles with a cookie cutter or glass and place on greased tray. Prick once or twice with a fork and bake for about 11 minutes or until golden around edges. Makes approx. 24
Notes
The chutney recipe can be doubled; in which case you will need to increase the simmering time to about 2 hours.
