Delicious Apple-Carrot chutney/Relish is my contribution to Mahesh from 'Beyond the Usual's "A Fruit A Month" event.This month's theme involves Apples!!Thanks Mahesh:)
Who doesn't like these gorgeous Apples?!
The disease-fighting profile of apples provides a multitude of health benefits, including a potential decreased risk of cancer and heart disease. Several recent studies suggest apples may provide a "whole-body" health benefit.A number of components in apples, most notably fiber and phytonutrients have been found in studies to lower blood cholesterol and improve bowel function, and may be associated with a reduced risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, prostate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma.For more information,click on Washington State Apple Commission.
Apple-Carrot Chutney/Relish:
I have been making desserts for every entry to AFAM so far.I didn't feel like making another this time as well and thought I would make a sweet,hot and tangy western Chutney or relish instead.With Apples,Carrots,sweet spices and Apple cider,this relish makes a wonderful condiment served with Ham or any meat and a great spread on warm toast in the mornings!! Enjoy:)
You Need:
2 Apples any kind chopped ,1 medium size Carrot grated,3 tbsp Raisins, 1/2 cup sugar or more to your taste,1/3 cup Apple cider Vinegar,2 tbsp sweet butter,1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp sweet Cinnamon pd, 1/2 tsp Allspice(not Garam masala)1 tsp Ginger pd,and 1/2 tsp red dry Chilli flakes.
How to make Chutney:
Prepare the Apples by chopping into small pieces and grate carrots.Heat the butter in a wide non-stick pan,add all the above ingredients to the pan and let it come to boil on a medium heat.Boil for 5 mins and turn down the heat to simmer and let it cook.
When the apples etc cook down to a thickish sauce, taste it and adjust the spices like salt,sweet and chilli as you prefer.It should sweet and tangy with apple cider than hot! When it shines on top,it's ready.It must be cooled completely before you bottle the Apple chutney.It lasts for few weeks if kept in the fridge.
Bottled up and ready to go!:) 
Enjoy it on warm toast or with any meat, goes well with Ham!

No,I am just kidding.I have to cook for us anyway,I just work around the events,that's all.
I had two apples sitting in the fridge for a while and I didn't want to one more cake with it,thought let me make some hot,sweet chutney,It's good.Try:))
Hi Sig,went for a simple and yummy dish this time.It smells like Apple pie,very good with thick cut Ham:)
Check my sidebar for all the events and dates,I update it often:)
Hi Richa,you are welcome.I have 3 three cheese spreaders with strawberries and cookies on top!They are cute:)
Adding one sweet and one sour apple gives it good balance but you can use any apple you like though.
i have never heard of apple chutney ..will try this.
Hi Ranjani,it's common western dish although it's called Chutney!:))
Try it if you like sweet and tangy taste.Thanks.
Right! I am gonna make this. It sounds nice enough, and I have some apples left over! :D
A new dish for me...you are so creative asha.. so many recipes..where did you learn all this ?
AAHHH!!!!! Just your description brings all the taste in my mouth!!!! Brilliant!!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!!!
is there any day in ur life where u have not cooked? do u take break now n then from kitchen? :)
ninne nange aduge madakke esthu somaritana aitu andre ended up eating frozen paratas. i didnt feel like cooking only n got veg sandwitch for lunch box:)
Hi Anh,this will be great with all the meat and Shrimp dishes you make.Not a lot work either other than preparing veggies.Make some and enjoy!:))
Hi Pravs,I read a LOT of cookbooks.I get ideas and I make changes to suit my taste and Voila!!All these are dishes are made like that and it gives me a great satisfaction when they come well.Some don't ,I won't post those things!;D
Coffee!!!!!Found the words to say something!!!!YAY!!!:D
Thanks girl.I know I bring too many dishes but take your time.Browse when you want something and make it:)
You know Sia,even if I have severe flu,I don't sleep and rest!!
I cooked dinner when I was in labor with Tushar,went to the hospital carrying my suitcase,had the baby and next day went shopping to buy cake for Trisha's 4th B'day and cooked again!!!Now you know!Hope you are still standing after reading this!!;D
You work full time,I can understand sometimes you are too tired to cook.Make double the amount and freeze for days like this when you don't feel like cooking.Veg Sandwich sounds good to me.Make this chutney for sandwich too.
I am made of diff. stuff I guess,like my dad!:)My mom naps everyday,but me? NEVER!!!
The only time I don't cook most of the days is when we are on vacation but we always get a suite with Kitchenette,so I still make breakfast!;D
I don't know,may be I have type A personality.I hate to be sitting around and doing nothing.I take my roll as a homemaker VERY seriously and treat it like a job!HAHA!

Sun bathe,it's good.Sit on the backyard and sip some lemonade,sounds good already!:)
Asha,
Apple carrot chutney sounds so good. I am sure it will go well with a nice browned toast. How much I hated apples when i was in India. Somehow never fell in love with apples there. But once I was here I just love Apples. I find the apples here very crisp and juicy.
Hi Seema,goes fabulously with toast.Make some,it will last for about 3 weeks in the fridge if there no moisture inside the bottle.
Apples are juicy here,specially those Baeburn apples! YUM!
Hi Ashaji,
Apple-carrot chutney sounds great and new too...I just felt amazing from your response to Supriya...you cooked before your delivery and went for shopping the very next day itself...even my mom use to say she prepared everything ready for lunch...then went for hospital to delivery me that evening itself..
You ladies are really great...My days are going cool and happy with my akka and cute little niece..
Hi Asha,
Apple with carrot in chutney..........such a good combination.
I try it definitely Bcoz my family love different type of chutney.
Thanks for sharing.:))
Hi Usha,good to hear about your sister and niece,enjoy the time with them:))
Your mom is my kinda lady!I didn't have anybody to care of me,so I had to do what I had to in UK!!I had a smooth pregnancy ,so I did okay.
Enjoy the Apple chutney:)
Hi Kajal,you are welcome.This is a great condiment for Toast,Bagels etc. and easy to make too.Hope you try:))
Asha, I will pin your recipe up! Apple and carrot always stock up in my fridge, but never have a chance to finish them. Now I can make this gorgeous chutney!
Hi Gattina,I highly recommend it.We had it on top of Waffles yesterday,it was yummy!:))
