Blueberry Chutney Conserve Jamun Phalsa Style Recipe

This Blueberry Chutney Conserve is based a chutney made with Jamun and Phalsa

In Delhi, when I was growing up, we used to get Jamun and Phalsa during the months of April and May. These fruits are just not available in United States yet. However, the Blueberries in United States taste just like a cross between Jamun and Phalsa, including the color. If you like Jamun and Phalsa, try to make this Blueberry Chutney. Fennel seed is a typical aromatic spice added to Jamun and Phalsa conserve.
