Fresh Peach Chutney: A Quick, Easy Chutney Recipe

Peach Chutney is a perfect chutney recipe to make when peaches are at their seasonal best. A tangy chunky relish, chutney is a perfect condiment for spicy Indian curries, for a Ploughman’s Lunch or as a side condiment for grilled meat. Quick to make and no canning required.

Peaches, corn and tomatoes are in full swing, quite possibly at the peak of their perfection. It’s the perfect time to make seasonal recipes with summer produce.

I’ve already seen pumpkin recipes on the internet. That feels a bit like seeing Halloween décor in stores in June. I just need a little bit more time to celebrate the summer produce.

What Is Chutney?

Chutney is a a spicy condiment made with fruits and/or vegetables, vinegar, spices, and sugar. It’s a sweet, tangy addition to spicy foods in particular and originated in India.

I love a good chutney. The tanginess and depth of flavor and sweetness of the cooked fruit are soul food to me.

How to Use Chutney

If this is your first experience of a chutney, you may think of it like a relish. Chutney is wonderful over a curry dish, paired with meats or with a bold cheese and some crusty bread.

In the past I’ve made batches of chutney to can but I wanted to whip up a quick chutney recipe that could be eaten the same day. This Quick Fresh Peach Chutney recipe is a celebration of summer.

How to Make Peach Chutney

Chutney’s are each changed up a bit by one’s traditions or preference though each has common elements of vinegar, fruit or vegetable, a sweetener of some kind and spices.

It’s common to add chilies for heat however I wanted this chutney recipe to tame a specific spicy recipe so omitted those. I love the fresher flavor of the peaches in this recipe, as did those in my household as it was gone lickety-split!
