Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice them into small chunks and remove any seeds.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped oranges, granulated sugar, white vinegar, and water. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Add the finely grated ginger, minced garlic, and finely chopped red chili peppers to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the chutney thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning if necessary, such as adding more salt or a pinch of sugar for a sweeter balance.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool slightly.
Pour the chutney into sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
Serve the chutney chilled or at room temperature as a condiment or dipping sauce.
