Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups pineapple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cups red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 pieces red chili pepper (thinly sliced, seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.33 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and dicing it into small, bite-sized chunks. Finely chop the red onion and red chilies, grate the ginger, and mince the garlic.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until they start to pop.
Add the finely chopped red onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the red chilies, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, and salt.
Add the diced pineapple to the mixture and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the pineapple softens.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess if required.
Once the chutney has reached your desired consistency, remove it from heat and allow it to cool completely.
Transfer the Fiery Pineapple Chutney to a sterilized jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, fish, or roasted vegetables, or pair it with cheese and crackers for a flavorful snack.
