BOXWALLAH'S CHUTNEY

Categories    : Pickles                           Relishes
                Prodigy                           Healthwise

Amount  Measure        Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      pound          Rhubarb
   1      pound          Onions
     1/2  pound          Raisins
     1/2  pound          Sultanas
     1/2  ounce          Coriander Seeds
   2      teaspoon      Curry Powder
   6      ounce          Sugar
     3/4  pint           Raspberry Vinegar *

* Red wine vinegar may be substituted for raspberry vinegar if desired.

Cut the trimmed rhubarb into short lengths and chop the onions quite fine. Put both ingredients into a large pan and pour on the vinegar.   Lightly bruise the whole coriander seeds.  Add the seeds directly into the pan if you want to include them in the chutney. As an option you can tie the coriander seeds in a piece of cheesecloth and remove the bag before canning.  Slowly bring the mixture to the boiling point, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the onion is soft.  Add the dried fruits, sugar, curry powder and 1-1/2 ts salt.   Stir to mix well. Continue to simmer, uncovered for 1-1/2 hours or until the rhubarb has pulped down completely.  The flavor is mellow, the color is rich and the consistency is thick.  Stir the chutney occasionally as it cooks to prevent sticking, particularly towards the end.  Can in warm sterilized jars and allow to mature for at least one month before eating.  The longer you can resist eating this chutney the better is will taste.
