The 2025 peach season has been kind to us - a warmish early spring allowed the blossoms to be pollinated, giving us a beautiful crop of big, juicy peaches bursting with flavour. Grown in our polytunnel, our Peregrine and Johnny Brack peach trees arch over the doorways, protected from the worst of the Irish weather.
Peregrine is one of the finest English varieties, producing fragrant, white-fleshed fruit with crimson-blushed skins. Johnny Brack, a lesser-known variety, gives us golden peaches with a rounder, honeyed flavour. These fruits do not keep long, so we work quickly to capture their flavour at its peak.
Peaches pair beautifully with warming spices and rich cheeses, which inspired this sweet-spiced chutney. It’s layered with organic cloves, yellow mustard seeds, cumin, fennel, bay, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, star anise, and black peppercorns - a nod to the aromatic flavours of North Indian cookery. To balance the sweetness, we use Highbank Orchards’ organic apple syrup and organic Tunisian Deglet Nour dates instead of large amounts of sugar, giving the chutney a natural honeyed depth and a silky, jammy texture.
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. Perfect with cheeses, grilled meats and meaty white fish, charcuterie, or as a fragrant counterpoint to dhal and curries. We especially love this chutney with a good cheese toastie.
Presented in a wide-neck glass jar - available on its own or wrapped in illustrated paper that tells the Wexford and Irish food story, and elegantly packaged in our signature black box.
