Boxwallah's Chutney
- 2 pounds rhubarb trimmed weight
- 1 pound onions
- 1/2 pound raisins, seedless
- 1/2 pound raisins, seedless sultanas
- 1/2 ounce coriander seeds
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 6 ounces sugar granulated
- 3/4 pint raspberry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- Cut the trimmed rhubarb into short lenghths and chop the onions quite finely.
- Put both ingredients into a large pan and pour on the vinegar.
- Then lightly bruise the whole coriander seeds.
- Add the seeds direct to the pan if you want to include them in the chutney.
- (or tie them in a piece of buttermuslin and remove before potting).
- Bring the contents of the pan slowly to boiling point, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes or so to start softening the onion.
- Add the dried fruits, sugar, curry powder and 1 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Stir to mix well.
- Then continue simmering - this time without a lid - for 1 1/2 hours or so until the rhubarb has pulped down completely, the flavour is mellow, and the colour is rich and the consistency is thick.
- Stir the chutney occasionally as it cooks to prevent sticking, particularly towards the end.
- Pot in warm sterilised jars and allow to mature for at least one month before eating.
- The longer you can resist eating this chutney the better it seems to taste.
