Chutney

Chutney, an East Indian condiment, very largely used in India, and to a considerable extent in Britain. Indian chutney is a compound of mangoes, chillies or Capsicum (q.v.), and lime-juice, with some portion of other native fruits, such as tamarinds, &c., the flavour being heightened by garlic. It is sometimes manufactured for sale in England. Families occasionally make it for their own use, and employ the following ingredients: Chillies, 1 to 1½ lb.; apples, 1 lb.; red tamarinds, 2 lb.; sugar-candy, 1 lb.; fresh ginger root, 1½ lb.; garlic, ½ to ¾ lb.; sultana raisins, 1½ lb.; fine salt, 1 lb.; distilled vinegar, 5 bottles.
