A spoonful of this delicious fig chutney will level up your rice bowls, sandwiches, toasts or burgers. It is so flavourful. 

  • Total Time: 80 minutes
  • Yield: 2 Jars 1x

Ingredients

Scale

800g figs

150ml red wine vinegar

150g cane sugar

2 white onions

2 laurel leaves

2 cinnamon sticks

1 star anis

1 tsp black pepper

2 tsp salt

Instructions

Slices the figs in half and separate the flesh from the skin with a spoon. Roughly chop the figs. Peel the onion and finely dice it.

Add the vinegar and cane sugar to your pot. Heat to medium heat and dissolve the sugar in the vinegar.

Next, add the fig, onion, and spices. Bring everything to a simmer.

Cook the chutney until the fig has broken down and the liquid has reduced. The figs will add a lot of liquid as well. The onions should turn very soft. I simmered this chutney for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Check for seasoning, and enjoy.

Notes

If you want a longer shelf life for your fig chutney, make sure to properly can the chutney.

You can make this recipe with dried figs as well.
