If it looks like soup or a sauce, don't panic! CHEAT! ;) You can still save your time and money you invested. Just add some gelatin and/or pectin. You can find it in any large grocery store in the baking isle and it only costs a couple of dollars. One box should do it. It will vary depending on how long you have cooked down the chutney. I wished I didn't leave mine on the stove simmering while I went to the store. I would have liked it more fresh than dark brown Also, I would slice the peaches a good centimeter in thickness and cut the segment in half. Because when you cook down the chutney, you want some peach substance left over. Once you have added the pectin, you won't notice the set until you have cooled the chutney down. Anyways, it may not be te conventional way, and I'm not too sure it changed how the original recipe's was suppose to taste, but it shouldn't have and worked and tasted great! I just gave it a stir after I cooled it down in the fridge and I got nice thick chutney suitable for Indian Royalty. If you're looking for something a bit different then this is the one. There is no doubt that when you serve this to your guests, that it's homemade, cause you can't buy something like this in the store. But make sure you have fun with the recipe and play with it..make it your own, if you love onions, add more onions. That's the fun of cooking, and if you're like me, it's never the same the next time around.
