 Clare's homemade pumpkin chutney continues to be a cheese platter favourite. Crafted with the freshest pumpkins and a perfect harmony of spices, every spoonful is a celebration of flavours; sweet, tangy, and spicy, all perfectly balanced to enhance any platter or dish.
Since the very first batch of pumpkin chutney was made in 2016, the recipe has evolved to become an essential feature on all of Pilgrim Magnetic Island's platters. While it pairs perfectly with cheese and crackers (and a glass of wine à la our Sunset Sip and Sail cruise), it is far more versatile than just a dollop on a cheese platter. Here are five ideas on different ways to serve Clare's Pumpkin Chutney so you can enjoy it to its full potential. The Classic - Served on your Cheese Platter It would be remiss not to include this one. We recommend having the pumpkin chutney with an aged cheddar or a creamy brie cheese on a Jatz or wafer cracker. The Lunch - Delicious Ploughman's Lunch All you need for this British classic is:
Clare's tip: I love to make my own bread when doing a ploughman's lunch. My favourite is a super easy, no-knead wholemeal bread. It doesn't keep for long though, so freeze any leftovers and use it for toast. See the recipe below! The Beer Snack As a nibble to have with your beer, try topping the pumpkin chutney onto mini poppadoms with some lime pickle or a cucumber raita (see the recipe below). It's perfectly crispy, tangy, and sweet! Clare's tip: The poppadoms are super easy to make in the microwave. I do three at a time on the highest setting for 40 seconds. Perfecto! Scrummy Curry This idea comes from Jen and Dan who run one of Clare and Paul's favourite restaurants on the island – Saltwater Magnetic Island. They suggest using the pumpkin chutney as a condiment for a spicy curry. Fold the pumpkin chutney through some natural yoghurt, add sliced dates or some nuts such as almonds, sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon, and season it. To intensify the flavour add some hot or dried chilli. Morning Tea - Treat yourself to a Savoury Scone Enjoy a savoury scone with some butter, pumpkin chutney, and a dollop of sour cream. Make this morning tea treat even better with some homemade scones (see the recipe below). Clare's tip: Swap the sour cream for crème fraîche, which is more rich and makes the savoury scone just that much better. A big thank you to Jen & Dan from Saltwater for their recipe idea.
