Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh blueberries
- 1 small (finely chopped) red onion
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 60 milliliters apple cider vinegar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoons ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoons chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (freshly ground) black pepper
- 50 milliliters water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blueberries under cold water and set them aside to drain.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and add the finely chopped red onion. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pan, stirring frequently, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Toss in the cinnamon stick, ground allspice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Add the blueberries to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Allow the chutney to simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the cinnamon stick. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or sugar as needed.
Let the chutney cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
