Apple and Coconut Relish
This is not an everything relish but it does go very well with pork or chicken. Try serving with chicken and sweet pepper wraps or on the side of some slow cooked B.B.Q pork.
Preparation time: 10 - 15 minutes Quantity: Makes 2 jam jars full Cooking time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
180 g / 6 oz granulated sugar
175 ml / 6 fl oz white wine vinegar
approx. 700 g / 1&1/2lb. diced apples (peeled and cored weight)
180 g / 6 oz / 1 large onion - peeled and medium diced
2 inch grated fresh ginger
100 g / 4 oz desiccated coconut
Method
- Add everything, except the coconut in to a thick saucepan
- Bring to the boil, stirring all the ingredients together
- Then simmer for 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and making sure the mix does not dry out, burn or the apples break down too much
- Add the coconut and cook for a further 10 minutes
- Spoon in to sterilized jars and store in a cool place for a month and once opened store in the fridge.
Different apples will produce a different consistency, firm cooking apples will produce a chunky mix whilst softer eating apples will produce a smoother mix.
