How To Make Elgin Valley Peach Blatjang..


Elgin Valley Peach Blatjang. This wonderful chutney is made with South African peaches or nectarines flavoured with onion, sultanas and spices. It’s a traditional accompaniment to Bobotie, a South African classic dish, and it tastes fantastic with cold meats and cheeses.


How To Make Elgin Valley Peach Blatjang:

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes 

Makes: 3 x 450g jars (approx.30 servings)

Ingredients:
  • 6 South African peaches or nectarines, pitted and chopped 
  • 50g sultanas or raisins 1 onion, chopped 
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed 
  • 1tsp dried chilli flakes 
  • 1tsp ground ginger 
  • 1tsp ground coriander 
  • 2tsp mustard seeds 
  • 100ml water 
  • 200ml cider vinegar 
  • 150g demerara or light muscovado sugar 
  • 1tsp salt 

How To Make:

1 Put the peaches or nectarines into a large saucepan with the sultanas or raisins, onion, garlic, chilli flakes, ginger, coriander and mustard seeds. Add the water and vinegar and slowly bring up to the boil. 

2 Reduce the heat and add the sugar and salt, stirring gently until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer, without a lid, until the chutney is thick and pulpy – about 30-40 minutes. 

3 Pour the chutney into warmed sterilized jars. Seal and leave to cool. Cook’s tip: Note that the chutney needs to be the correct consistency before you pot it, as it will only thicken a little more when cool.
