Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup onions (finely chopped)
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks. Finely chop the onions.
In a slow cooker, combine the apples, onions, raisins, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water.
Stir in the grated ginger, minced garlic, cinnamon stick, ground cloves, mustard seeds, red chili flakes (if using), and salt.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the spices and vinegar coat the apples and raisins evenly.
Cover and set the slow cooker to low heat. Cook for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the chutney has thickened and the ingredients have broken down.
Remove the cinnamon stick from the chutney and use an immersion blender to slightly puree it if you prefer a smoother texture. Otherwise, leave it as is for a chunkier chutney.
Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or sugar to balance the flavors.
Let the chutney cool to room temperature, then transfer it to sterilized jars for storage.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or process in a water bath for longer shelf life.
