Notes

Frequently Asked Questions.

 

Can I use frozen peaches to make Peach Chutney?

Fresh peaches are highly recommended for the best texture and natural sweetness, but thawed frozen peaches can work if properly drained.

What can I serve Peach Chutney with?

Peach Chutney pairs beautifully with pholourie, saheena, grilled meats, chips, sandwiches, and can also work as a fresh fruit salsa.

Can I make Peach Chutney less spicy?

Absolutely. Simply reduce the number of bird’s eye peppers or remove them entirely if you prefer a milder flavour. With that said, you can also make it spicier by using larger amounts of Scotch Bonnet, Habanero, or Trinidad Scorpion peppers for the ULTIMATE Kick!

How long does homemade Peach Chutney last?

Stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator, Peach Chutney will keep well for approximately 5 to 7 days.

Is Peach Chutney traditional Caribbean cooking?

Not traditionally. Mango chutney is far more common throughout Caribbean cuisine, but Peach Chutney offers a delicious seasonal variation when peaches are abundant. Keep in mind that peaches are not native to the Caribbean, so we typically use tropical fruits.
