Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole (medium-sized) ripe peaches
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel and pit the peaches. Chop them into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the diced onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chopped peaches, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, red chili flakes, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, kosher salt, and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney should thicken and the peaches should break down slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a spicier chutney, add an extra pinch of red chili flakes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature.
Transfer the chutney to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment or topping. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
