Peach Spice Chutney

Sweet, gently spiced, and full of warmth.

Peaches are a rare fruit to grow well in Ireland, but in our polytunnel they thrive — protected from the worst of the weather and allowed to ripen slowly for full flavour. Our Peregrine and Johnny Brack varieties bring different qualities: Peregrine with its fragrant, white-fleshed fruit and soft blush, and Johnny Brack with a rounder, honeyed sweetness.

These fruits do not keep long, so we preserve them at their peak.

This chutney draws on the natural affinity between peaches, warm spice, and rich cheeses. Layered with organic cloves, yellow mustard seed, cumin, fennel, bay, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, star anise, and black pepper, it carries a gentle aromatic warmth inspired by North Indian cookery.

Sweetness comes from Highbank Orchards’ organic apple syrup and Deglet Nour dates, giving the chutney a natural honeyed depth and a soft, jammy texture, balanced with our heritage apple cider vinegar.

Like fine wine, chutneys only improve with time. This chutney is always made in early July with the last of the peaches and left to mature, allowing the vinegar and spices to mellow and the flavours to deepen into something complex and elegant.

Serve with cheeses, charcuterie, grilled meats, or meaty white fish. It also works beautifully alongside dhal and curries, or melted into a good cheese toastie.

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.
