Recipe: Homemade Major Grey's Chutney (using peaches and Splenda, low sugar)

MAJOR GREY'S CHUTNEY

"Major Grey's chutney is not a brand, but a type, and it's the most popular kind of chutney in the United States - maybe in the world. But I'm afraid it's usually loaded with sugar. This version isn't, of course! I also substituted peaches for the mangoes you usually find in Major Grey's chutney - peaches are a whole lot easier to find. Go ahead and use frozen unsweetened peach slices in this. It'll save you lots of time and trouble, and since you're going to cook them, the difference in texture won't matter in the end."

2 pounds peach slices
1/3 cup paper-thin ginger root slices
1 1/2 cups Splenda
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cloves
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
Guar or xanthan (optional)

Put everything in a large, nonreactive saucepan, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, turn the burner to low, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Thicken a bit with guar or xanthan if you like. Cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge.
