Spiced Peach Chutney






Sweet juicy peaches are the Test Kitchen's most eagerly awaited fruit of the summer. Use firm, ripe local peaches for the best flavour and texture. With only a hint of spice, this chutney is a perfect condiment for cheese, pâté or grilled meat. To jack up the heat, increase the jalapeños to your liking.

4 firm peaches
2 tsp (10 mL) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) minced and seeded jalapeño pepper

Stir in peaches, sugar, vinegar, 2 tbsp water, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until peaches are tender but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp water; stir into peach mixture and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Let cool.

Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.
