Quince, Orange And Chestnut Chutney With Davidstow® Cheddar...

Do you like to make up a cheese board? We love to make them here. All our family loves to eat cheese. A cheese board is perfect for any celebration. Served up at a party. An after dinner party treat. At an all you can eat buffet. Or a Saturday night treat in front of the TV with a nice glass of red wine.

Today I am sharing a chutney recipe to serve up with your next cheese board party.

Quince, Orange and Chestnut Chutney with Davidstow® cheddar. This is a great festive chutney that pairs well with Davidstow® 3 Year Special Reserve Vintage and Davidstow® 18 Month Extra Mature cheddar. Make the chutney well in advance to when you’d like to use it as it develops in flavour as the weeks go by.

Ingredients:

• 4 quinces, peeled and diced
• 2 pears, peeled and diced
• 1 medium onion, peeled and diced
• 4g fennel seeds
• 10g mustard seeds
• 1 pinch saffron
• 7g ginger powder
• 320g white wine vinegar
• 150g sugar
• Juice of 1 orange
• 2 ½ orange peel, grated using a fine grater
• 150g cooked whole chestnuts chopped. These can be found in most supermarkets

Method: 

1. Place all the ingredients above, except the pears and chestnuts, together in a saucepan. Cook down slowly, stirring continuously. 

2. Add the pears 30 minutes into the cooking time. Cook the pear for a further 15 minutes. 

3. Finish with the chestnuts, stir in well and remove the chutney from the heat. Chill this down in the refrigerator. 

4. Add it to a medium sterilized Kilner jar.
