TIPS

1. Don't peel the skin of plum because its skin has some tartness in it.
2. If fresh plums are available, they are the preferred choice, but if using frozen plums, ensure they are thawed before chutney preparation.
3. Ensure the inclusion of vinegar in your recipe to preserve it for longer amount of time.

HOW TO STORE IT?

To preserve the Plum Chutney's freshness, store it in an airtight container and keep it either in the refrigerator or the freezer. When ready to use, thaw it overnight. Avoid microwave thawing, as it can adversely affect the chutney's texture. In the refrigerator, it remains good for 2 to 3 weeks, while in the freezer, it can last for 2 to 3 months.
