Blueberry chutney: Sweet and tangy sauce, perfect for spooning over ripe goat cheese for a show-stopping appetizer.
Ingredients:
  • 3 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks
  • 1 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 1 teaspoon whole allspice berries
  • 1.5 cups red wine vinegar
  • 2 quarts fresh blueberries, washed and picked over
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
Instructions:
  • Wrap the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice berries in cheesecloth and tie with kitchen twine. Place the spice sachet in a large saucepan with vinegar and simmer for 5 minutes. Add blueberries and cook for another 5 minutes without stirring. Let cool at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours before using.
  • Strain berries over a bowl, discard spice sachet. Transfer berries to sterilized jars. In a saucepan, heat reserved liquid over high heat. Add white and brown sugars, boil for 4 minutes until thickened.
  • Pour the steaming syrup over the berries, making sure to leave a 1/2 inch space at the top. Clean the jar rims using a damp paper towel to remove any excess food. Place the sterilized lids on top and secure with the rings.
  • Prepare a large stockpot with a rack on the bottom, filled halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Gently lower the jars into the pot, ensuring a 2-inch gap between them. Add more boiling water if needed, making sure the water level is at least 1 inch above the jar tops. Cover the pot, bring to a full boil, and process for 15 minutes.
