Instructions

How to make Strawberry Chutney in Instant Pot?

  • Add the strawberries to the Instant Pot ( do not switch it on as yet) , add sugar & the lemon juice. Give everything a good mix and allow it to sit for 30 mins. 
  • After 30 mins you'll notice that the strawberries will release lots of juice. It's time to switch on the Instant Pot.
  • Close the lid of the IP & press the PRESSURE COOK button. Set it on HIGH for 1 min.
  • After 1 min wait for NPR (natural pressure release) for 15 mins. Than, release the rest of the pressure & open the lid of the IP.
  • After opening the pot you'll notice a watery strawberry concoction. Now, CANCEL the PRESSURE COOK mode & than press the SAUTE & set it on NORMAL. 
  • Mash the cooked strawberries with a potato masher. If you prefer chunky pieces of berries in your chutney reduce the mashing time & if you prefer a smoother chutney mash more until the berries break down.
  • Add the red chili flakes, the salt, vinegar, roasted cumin seed powder & the grated ginger. Give everything a very good mix. Simmer the Strawberry chutney until the sauce thickens. It should take you about 15 mins to achieve the jam like consistency.
  • Turn off the IP and allow the Strawberry Chutney to cool down completely. In the meantime sterilize the canning jars in boiling water for 15-20 mins. Dry them completely and store the chutney.

  • Now, set this saucepan over medium heat. Cover & cook for 10 mins until the berries are properly cooked. The color of the sauce will darken as the berries gets cooked.
  • Open the lid of the pot, mash the berries with the help of a potao masher & mix in the red chili flakes, the vinegar, grated ginger & the roasted cumin powder. Give everything a thorough mix.
  • Simmer the sauce until it thickens. Stir it at times to prevent it from sticking at the bottom of the pan. It should take you about 15 mins approximately.

Notes

  1. Use red, ripe & Juicy strawberries if you decide to use fresh berries. You can read the post Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa recipe post to know how to choose good strawberries.
  2. You can use any sweetener of your choice like honey, maple syrup, jaggery powder, cane sugar. Using cane sugar & jaggery powder will make your strawberry chutney dark in color.
  3. DO NOT skip the ginger & the roasted cumin powder. They give extraordinary flavor to the chutney.
