I made this chutney recipe (with peaches since they're in season now), and it is excellent. I froze it and tried it after freezing it - still excellent. And easy to make. So, I'm off to make a bunch of it and freeze it, lots and lots of it. We buy the Masala sauce in a jar from Trader Joes (they have many different kinds of Indian sauces in a jar) and cook up some chicken chunks in it, add some peas sometimes. With a side of rice and this chutney, it's a great easy meal for those busy weeknights.

Peach Chutney
Martha Stewart July 07 makes 3 cups

2 tbsp olive oil
? cup finely chopped onion
1 pound mangoes, apricots or peaches, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1/3 cup raisins (I use golden raisins)
? cup granulated sugar
? cup honey
? cup cider vinegar (I used white balsamic vinegar because that's what we had in the pantry and it was very good)
? tsp black mustard seeds (I used the regular mustard seeds and it was very good)
? tsp cumin seeds
? tsp coarse salt

1. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutesl
2. Add remaining ingredients, and cook until thickened, 20 ? 25 minutes. Let cool. Serve at room temperature. Chutney can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week: bring to room temperature before serving.

Ok, so I doubled the recipe this morning and it came out very good, but it was even thicker when I just made the one-recipe. I think it's because the chutney has to boil down to thicken, and it is harder for it to boil down with the double recipe. But it sure is good and it's going into the freezer today to save for the cooler weather when we want to taste peaches again.

That sounds good, Paula. I must have subconsciously had your post on my mind because I picked up two packages of Indian vegetable mixes today at Meijer's! One of them came with a free CD of Indian music so we listened to sitar during dinner (it was pretty good, actually).

My friend gave me a jar of her homemade jam last week, peach and rosemary. I never thought of that flavor combination but it's wonderful, providing of course that you're fond of rosemary, which I am. ;-)
