Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples
- 2 medium Pears
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 1 medium Onion
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples and pears into small cubes.
Roughly chop the dried apricots and finely dice the onion, garlic, and ginger.
In a large saucepan, combine the apples, pears, dried apricots, raisins, and onion.
Add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer uncovered for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are softened and the mixture has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess).
Remove the chutney from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars if preserving, or to a serving dish if using immediately.
Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
