Wednesday's Post o'the Day: The Return of Fig Chutney
My house has a fig tree.
It bore a lot of fruit this year, but they didn't ripen.
That's okay. It bore a LOT of fruit last year, most of which ripened, and I still have some in the freezer.
Lots, actually.
Thus, today, fig chutney.
Doubling the recipe did not make it take four hours to cook down, though I did let it go about 30 minutes longer than the recipe seems to expect.
Where the time factor increases is in the hot-water processing after, since the number of jars was doubled and I still only have the one canner.
Still, lots and lots of lovely chutney.
