Fig and Raisin Chutney

Homemakers Best Tested
By
The Homemakers Test Kitchen
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.
