Every time I come to Northern Germany a friend of mine and I go to buy some seabuckthorn juice, jam, honey or what we like to have. I buy all the time the juice as it’s the only one without added sugar. The honey is not my favorite as I think it’s perfect to take some wild flower honey and add the seabuckthorn juice and voilà I have the honey.
And of course we went again to buy some. But I was not in the mood to do jam as I don’t eat much during the year and I don’t like to throw it away in the end. So I thought about a chutney with seabuckthorn.
I mixed a few things together that came into my mind and used the juice, some apples (mainly as a thickener as they don’t have much taste), a mango, honey and spices. The chutney is super super fruity, all yellow and very spicy. The curry gave even a more yellowish color.
This chutney is perfect for white meat, fish and great as a dip for chips. Hope there is a possibility to get some seabuckthorn in your region to try this yummy chutney! Bon appétit!
- 400 ml seabuckthorn juice
- 200 gr raw honey
- 1 big diced onion
- 4 gloves garlic
- 2 medium chopped apples
- 1 chopped mango
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 2 tsp chilli flakes
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp curry
- 2 tsp fresh ginger
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- some lemon mint leaves
- Take a middle seize pot and put all the ingredients, one after the other, into it. Omit the lemon mint leaves.
- Stir all well and bring it to boil. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir from time to time that nothing can burn on the bottom of the pot.
- Meanwhile prepare 4 medium seize jars with screw caps. Clean them with boiling hot water, let them dry, put them aside.
- When you feel the solid ingredients like mango, apple, onion and garlic are soft, turn off the heat. Add the lemon mint leaves and stir again.
- Fill the seabuckthorn chutney into the prepared glasses and close them well. Turn them upside down for 5 minutes and then back to the right side. Let them cool out well and store them in your pantry.
