Rich, mellow and deeply savoury, Caramelised Red Onion Chutney is one of those kitchen staples
that never lets you down. Whether you’re dressing up your Christmas cheeseboard, adding
flavour to a weeknight meal, or stirring a spoonful into sauces, it’s the jar you’ll find yourself
reaching for again and again.
At Pimento Hill, our Caramelised Red Onion Chutney is slow-cooked to perfection — onions gently
caramelised until sweet and jammy, balanced with a touch of spice and warmth inspired by the flavours of Jamaica. The result? A chutney that’s as at home alongside festive feasts as it is in your everyday cooking.
A Christmas Favourite
No Christmas spread is complete without it. Pair it with mature cheddar, Stilton, or creamy brie for a classic combination that never fails to impress. It’s also wonderful alongside leftover roast beef or turkey sandwiches — adding just the right balance of sweetness and spice. For entertaining, try spooning it into a warm tartlet with goats’ cheese or baking it under a layer of puff pastry for an easy but elegant starter.
Perfect for Cheese Lovers
Our Borough Market customers always tell us it’s the one chutney they can’t be without. Its
balance of sweetness and spice makes it the perfect partner for bold, mature cheeses — thinkcrumbly cheddar, tangy blue or nutty Gruyère. A dollop on your cheeseboard brings warmth, richness and depth — elevating even the simplest crackers and biscuits into something truly special.
Everyday Inspiration
Beyond festive tables, Caramelised Onion Chutney is a true all-rounder. Stir it through gravy
for instant depth, mix into burgers for extra flavour, or add a spoonful to toasted sandwiches andwraps. It’s also brilliant as a glaze — brush over sausages, roasted vegetables, or even a
Sunday roast for a glossy, flavour-packed finish.
