Peach Chutney
"If you are a fan of chutney I think you will like this recipe. DH absolutely loves it especially paired with grilled pork tenderloin. If you like hot and spicy you can always add more jalapenos or substitute habanero peppers."

It took a long time to chop and prep. I simmered for over 2 hours and it didn’t thicken. Should have drained off the liquid at that point or added some sort of thickener. The fruit looks a bit over cooked in the jars. Perhaps reducing the amount of vinegar at the beginning would have resolved the problem.

Delicious and so easy to make. Great smell and I will be giving this as gifts! followed the recipe but it took a little longer to cook down and thicken - maybe another 30 minutes. Made just a little over 7 half-pints. Perfect left-over for taste tests. Cannot wait to glaze a ham with this or serve with chicken or turkey. -
This is excellent! I made it according to the recipe. My husband who doesn't like raisins or peppers was eating more and more. We had it with a chicken dish and I'll give it for gifts. It took a longer time to thicken than suggested. I let some of it go for 1 1/2 hours to 2 and it was better than what I canned at 1 hour. Yummy. I also used amazing fresh peaches that are primo. -
This is a delicious chutney, and the house smelled heavenly while making it! I love chutney and when I saw this recipe knew it would be great. Used peaches from our tree, and subbed a red bell pepper for the yellow one, also added a pinch of saffron, otherwise made as written. Am looking forward to serving this with our Thanksgiving bird, and giving some as Xmas gifts, too. Thanks so much Luby, for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Living in the south we are very lucky to have an abundance of fresh seafood and other ingredients at our disposal when trying new recipes. My husband and I both love to cook and have learned a lot about cooking from our native Louisianian, Paul Prudhomme (we learned to be very careful with his recipes as they are very spicy - even for us), native New Orleanian, Frank Davis and transplanted Emeril Lagasse. It would be very difficult to pick an all time favorite cookbook since I have approximately 200. I enjoy collecting local cookbooks as well as others from different areas. This picture is obviously when DH and I got married. I cooked all the food and even made my wedding cake.
