Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large (peeled, cored, and diced) Granny Smith apples
- 2 small (finely chopped) Red chili peppers
- 60 ml Tequila
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 50 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 1 medium (finely chopped) Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 ml Water
Instructions
Prepare the Granny Smith apples by peeling, coring, and dicing them into small pieces. Finely chop the red chili peppers and onion, grate the ginger, and mince the garlic.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, red chili peppers, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, and salt.
Pour in the water and place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cook uncovered for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking. The apples should soften and break down, forming a thick, chunky consistency.
Once the apples are fully cooked, add the tequila to the saucepan. Stir it in thoroughly and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off while retaining the tequila's flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, sugar, or vinegar to balance the flavors.
Remove the chutney from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars or an airtight container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing.
Store the Chili Apple Tequila Chutney in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or process for long-term storage using a proper canning method. Serve with your favorite dishes or as a flavorful spread!
