Preparation

Step 1

Grind the allspice, cloves, mustard and coriander seeds, and the peppercorns to a powder in a spice-grinder.

Transfer to a saucepan, and mix in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, cover, reduce the heat to low, and boil gently for 30 minutes. Then uncover, and cook about 20 minutes, until most of the juice has evaporated and the chutney is just moist.

Transfer to a jar, cool, cover, and refrigerate. The chutney tastes better after a few days and will keep for weeks in the refrigerator.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
