Hogweed Curry Chutney

What happens to a Halloween pumpkin that doesn’t get picked for Halloween? Some of them are scooped up and turned into this brilliant chutney, flavoured with hogweed seeds and a bit of spice. 

The Hogweed Curry Chutney is an autumn favourite for makers Fruits of the Forage and won a two-star Great Taste Award in 2018 with the judges saying: “a most unusual Indian-style spiced chutney with almost home-made appeal.” 

It’s a better fate for a pumpkin than being left to rot in a field. 

Although easy access to fresh food is a right everyone should have, there’s still something slightly off about seeing rows of identical shiny green apples lined up in the supermarket. Fruits of the Forage are the antithesis of this, they love to explore different heritage varieties of fruits, the old, the wild and the weird. As a result, their range of produce tastes amazing and full of flavour. 

Their approach also encourages small farms and orchards, who use less intensive farming methods and who play a part in restoring Britain’s natural biodiversity. 

We love every single one of their products, so take your pick.
