Orange chutney

Ingredients

• 800 g Oranges, peeled, cut into sections
• 170 g Sugar
• 170 g Brown sugar
• 50 g Ginger, raw, minced
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp Fresh ground salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper, ground

Method

1. Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all of the bitter white parts.
2. Working in a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl.
3. Cut the orange sections into 2-cm pieces.
4. In a large saucepan, put water with 80ml of orange juice from the bowl and bring to a simmer over moderate heat, until reduced.
5. Add the vinegar, both sugars, the ginger, and orange pieces then cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until thick, for about 5 minutes.
6. Let cool slightly, then season with salt and pepper.
7. Serve warm or at room temperature (or preserve in clean jars).
