Most people think of Trinidad, Guyana, and Martinique
when they think of East Indian influences on Caribbean
cooking. Jamaica, however, has had its share of that
influence as well, as proved by this chutney that is
prepared from bananas and ginger. Makes about 3 1/2
cups. Place the onions, bananas, dates, and vinegar in
a nonreactive saucepan. Stir them to mix well and cook
over low heat for 20 minutes. Add the remaining
ingredients and stir to make sure they are well
combined. Continue to cook until the chutney has a
jamlike consistency. Remove from the heat and place in
sterilized jars. This chutney can accompany cold
meats, grilled meats and, of course, curries. It will
keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
