Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 5 mins to soften but not brown. Add the ginger, chilli and spices and cook for another 1 min. Stir in the papaya, mango, sugar and vinegar, bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins until thick and the fruit has broken down slightly.
  2. Spoon into a sterilised jar, seal and leave to cool. The chutney will keep, sealed, for several months. Once open, keep in the fridge.

Tip: To sterilise glass jars, wash in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Dry in the oven for 15-20 mins at gas 1, 140°C, fan 120°C until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 mins, then leave to dry.

When buying papaya, look for fruits with smooth, firm skin and an even yellow tone. Streaks of green indicate the fruit isn't ripe.
