This morning, I met Farmer Steve(above) at the Poway Farmers Market (PFM). He had some fruits in his stall that no one else had. Jujube, Sapote, Figs and Raw Banana to mention a few. I picked up some figs and farmer Steve was generous enough to add a few green figs to my basket. On the way home I thought I could make fig and honey ice cream as the fig were very sweet and ripe or a dessert but instead I tried a new chutney. I used roasted green and crushed red chillis, garlic and a few spices. My entry to Lore's Original Recipe event.

ReplyDeleteThis sure looks like a delicious way to use up those fresh figs! Although we only had dried figs available around here, this year our luck has changed :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your chutney with Original Recipes!
This would have tasted super-delicious, I believe :) I love figs but haven't tasted the fresh fruit yet...only the dried ones. I will make this chutney when I get to buy these fresh figs.

can the chutney be stored in an air tight container and left at room temp ? Looks yummy Thanks Dave
ReplyDeleteSorry, the chutney cannot be stored at room temp. Fig tends to go bad fast. So its best to store in the fridge for a week or two.
