Papaya raisin chutney gets snap from spices and ginger. It is very easy to make and goes well with chicken, pork, and even as a spread for toast. Chutneys are chunky by nature. If you prefer a sauce, simply puree the cooked and cooled mixture in a food processor.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 Tablespoons (1 to 2 limes) fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 5 cups papayas, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
  • 2/3 cups golden raisins

Preparation:

Heat oil in a large heavy saucepan. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 additional minute, stirring often.

Add cider vinegar, brown sugar, lime juice, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and dry mustard. Stir until well-combined. Add papayas and raisins. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Chill for 2 hours before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered glass container.

Yield: about 1-1/2 quarts
