I love to reuse, repurpose and eliminate waste wherever I can. It actually makes me a little giddy to create something valuable out of a thing most people would discard. So, when I read\u00a0Rosemary Glasdstar\u2019s\u00a0<\/a>suggestion to use the marc from making\u00a0Fire Cider\u00a0<\/a>into chutney, I was all over it. The marc is the plant material left over after you have filtered\/pressed all the liquid out. My\u00a0Fire Cider\u00a0<\/a>recipe was made from such wonderful and powerful ingredients (ginger root<\/a>, horseradish root, turmeric, onion, garlic<\/a>, jalapeno peppers, and lemons), it did seem a shame to compost it. And thanks to\u00a0Rosemary<\/a>, I have something yummy to do with it.<\/p>\n

During the process, I learned that it was not necessary to put the\u00a0Fire Cider<\/a>\u00a0through a press which leaves the left over marc rather dry and chutney is not supposed to be dry. I ended up adding some\u00a0Fire Cider<\/a>\u00a0to moisten it up. Therefore, if you intend to use the marc from the\u00a0Fire Cider<\/a>\u00a0to make chutney,\u00a0simply filter it through a cheesecloth lined stainless steel strainer.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my version of\u00a0Fire Cider Chutney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Fire Cider\u00a0<\/a>marc<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup chopped dried apricots<\/p>\n

1 cup raw buckwheat honey (I like how the bold, rich taste of buckwheat honey balances the hot and spicy taste of the marc)<\/p>\n

Fire Cider<\/a>, if marc is too dry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Add all the ingredients to a food processor and mix on pulse; you want it chunky, not a paste. Gently warm the honey so it will mix easily with the\u00a0Fire Cider\u00a0<\/a>marc, add to taste (make sure not to heat honey over 110\u00b0F, as it will kill the wonderful enzymes and bacteria that are so rich in healing properties). You want a hot spicy and sweet chutney; play around with the ingredients.<\/p>\n

I was so excited to share my new creation that I brought little jars to a dinner party for friends to taste and experiment.\u00a0 I was overjoyed with the results, some people simply enjoyed it right out of the jar, and others added it to hamburgers. I am having fun adding it to many of my favorite dishes. I love the spin it gave my chicken soup. My brother-in-law enjoyed it on his falafel sandwich. I love the spin it gave my\u00a0Salmon\u00a0<\/a>dish, I usually mix mango chutney with mustard but the Fire Cider Chutney was a delicious change. Add the chutney to stir fry, eggs or veggie dishes. You are only limited by your imagination.<\/p>\n

Store the chutney in the refrigerator to ensure freshness.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/strong>\"Fire<\/a><\/p>\n
