Spitalfield's Show and Green Fair

Yesterday, Saturday 12 September, Smy Chutney went to Spitalfield's City Farm for the Spitalfield's Show and Green Fair. It was a lovely combo of your classic village fete contests and a great opportunity to celebrate green issues. We brought along some jars of banana and date chutney, rhubarb chutney, mango chutney, six-pepper jelly, ella bella (damson) jelly and strawberry and pineapple jam. Although we weren't awarded a first prize we did get second place for banana and date chutney and a third for rhubarb chutney and a second place for the ella bella (damson) jelly. We were super-chuffed as this was the first time we've entered Smy Chutney into any sort of contest. Congratulations to all the participants and organisers for a brilliant day.

Massive thanks to Mr Waghorn for letting Smy Chutney know about this opportunity.

If anyone knows of any other upcoming

coming chutney contests, please let

us know! It was so much fun we might be hooked!

And remember....it's not your chutney...it's Smy Chutney!

Mohammed vs Smy Chutney: banana & date canapes

Watch Mohammed sample Smy Chutney: banana & date for the first time in the form of a delightful canape. I say canape, it's really just a Tuc biscuit, bit of cheese and a dollop of Smy Chutney. The results speak for themselves. Big thanks to Mohammed and Smy Chutney Uber-fan, Emma and her mad presenting skills.

Smy Chutney Welsh Rarebit

One of Smy Chutney’s favourite snacks is Welsh rarebit made with Smy Chutney rhubarb. It couldn’t be easier, all you need to do is:

1. Take a nice loaf of bread and slice as desired.

2. Lightly toast the bread under the grill until evenly browned.

3. Spread butter on your toast. You can use margarine but I believe in butter and I believe in using it liberally.

4. Take a tablespoon of Smy Chutney rhubarb and spread on the toast.



5. Then take a nice quality cheddar cheese, grate and spread evenly on top of the rhubarb chutney.

6. Place on a baking sheet on the top tray of an oven and cook under a medium to high grill until the cheese starts to bubble.

7. When cheese has begun to bubble, splash a dash of Worcester sauce on the toast and return to oven, being sure to keep an eye on it so that it does not burn.

8. When nice and golden brown, remove from oven and eat right away.

Smy Chutney de Ruibarbo

Ismael and Jaume sampling welsh rarebit made with Smy Chutney rhubarb chutney and questioning, "Que es rhubarb?" Is it:

a: an Aphex Twin track
b: a vegetable
c: super bueno
d:a delicious flavour of Smy Chutney
e: all of the above

If you answered e, then you answered correctly!

While this video is rather charming, I do wish that I hadn't mucked up the video of Ismael tasting six-pepper jelly which ended up with a slightly red-faced Ismael declaring six-pepper jelly, "muy, muy picante!" and remember...

it's not your chutney...it's Smy Chutney.

Crouch's Crumpets

Here's a recipe idea for Crouch's Crumpets from the lovely Emma, an imminent crumpetologist and smy chutney fan. It's no surprise that she has teamed up crumpets and smy chutney six-pepper jelly. A massive thanks to Emma and remember.....
