INGREDIENTS

• Vinegar- This ingredient is added as a natural preservative.

HOW TO MAKE PLUM CHUTNEY?

Add plum let it cook until they are mushy.

Now add the sugar and the rest of the ingredients.

Place it in the refrigerator and enjoy!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH?

Plum chutney is usually served with snack in Pakistan: Beef Samosa and Beef Patties. Just a fun fact, in some parts of India Plum chutney is served even with Chicken Biryani, or Mutton Biryani.

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 keep the Plum Chutney fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. Thaw it overnight before use, as microwaving can alter its texture. It stays good for 2–3 weeks in the fridge and up to 2–3 months in the freezer.
