Apple Chutney

Did you know?
A fresh apple is an ideal snack filling and low in calories. A 140g piece of fruit has only 90 calories. It contains a good dose of pectin which helps lower LDL blood cholesterol levels. The most positive nutritional aspect of apples is the mix of anti oxidants they contain.

They are called ' nature's toothbrush ' because biting and chewing an apple stimulates the gums and the sweetness of the apple causes an increased flow of saliva which reduces tooth decay by lowering the levels of bacteria in the mouth.

Here's a tangy apple recipe !

Ingredients:
2 limes
6 Granny Smith or other tart apples (about 3 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 navel oranges, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 jalapeño chile, seeded and minced
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 cup dark seedless raisins
3/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons minced, peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt

Method:
From limes, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice. In 4-quart saucepan, heat lime peel, lime juice, and remaining ingredients to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Cover and refrigerate chutney until well-chilled, about 6 hours or up to 1 week.
