Marrow and dates make a chutney that’s soft, gently sweet and reminiscent of traditional preserves.
At Fat Tomato, we sow courgettes in succession and harvest them through to late autumn. We leave some to mature into marrows for seed saving and preserving. Their mild flesh takes on flavour beautifully when cooked slowly.
For this chutney, we use our Cocozelle and White Volunteer marrows with heritage tomatoes, Bramley apples and Radar onions. Our apple cider vinegar brings brightness, while organic Deglet Nour dates add a honeyed depth and soft texture. Organic Colombian raw cane sugar helps bring everything into balance.
We add our Therador garlic, wild alexander seeds, Indian yellow mustard seeds, organic Peruvian ginger, Mexican allspice and Kampot black peppercorns. Then we leave the chutney to mature in our pantry for months, giving the vinegar and spices time to settle into a rich, rounded flavour.
Serve with farmhouse cheese, cold meats or roast dishes, spoon it into a sandwich, or add it to a full Irish breakfast. It’s especially good with cheddar.
Available as a 225g wide-neck glass jar for everyday use, or as a Gift Box, wrapped in our illustrated paper — inspired by the Wexford and Irish food story — and presented in our signature black box.
