It's a Southern tradition to serve many condiments with ham. They usually involve a sweet-and-sour element, such as this chutney, which is naturally sweetened by the dry fruit.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp (10 mL) vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) minced shallots
- 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) yellow mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 cup (250 mL) dried Calimyrna or other light-colour figs, quartered
- 1 cup (250 mL) golden raisins
- 1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
Preparation
In small saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté shallots until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mustard seeds, pepper and cayenne; fry until seeds begin to pop, about 10 seconds. Add figs and raisins, stirring to mix well. Mix in wine, sugar, vinegar and salt. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes. Let cool.
