Nutritional values

Lots of fruit, little sugar: With the fruity-hot chutney you are definitely right in terms of calories. Chilli and ginger provide spiciness that slightly stimulates the metabolism.

You can also use plums instead of prunes. Then possibly season with a little more balsamic vinegar, because plums contain more fructose and taste sweeter.

Clean sealable jars (a total of 26 ounces total capacity) together with matching lids in a pot of boiling water, then leave upside down to drain on a kitchen towel. Peel the shallots, halve and slice into thin strips. Peel the ginger root and finely chop.

Rinse 1 orange in hot water, wipe dry and remove zest in wide strips with a peeler. Cut the zest crosswise into thin strips (julienne).

Squeeze out juice from both oranges. Combine 3/4 cup of juice with the shallots, ginger, chile pepper, orange zest and star anise in a pot. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

Season chutney to taste with salt and vinegar, immediately pour into prepared jars and seal. Let cool for 5 minutes upside down. Turn glasses right side up and allow to cool completely. (Store chutney refrigerated for up to 2 months.)

Tip: To preserve the chutney for longer, you will need to process the jars according to manufacturers instructions.
