Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (finely diced, fresh or canned) Pineapple
- 2 small (finely chopped, seeds removed for less heat) Jalapenos
- 0.5 cup (finely chopped) Onion
- 1 tablespoon (freshly grated) Ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped, for garnish) Cilantro
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Begin by prepping all your ingredients. Dice the pineapple, finely chop the jalapenos (removing seeds for less heat), onion, and garlic, and grate fresh ginger.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced pineapple, jalapenos, onion, ginger, garlic, and water.
Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
During the simmering process, stir occasionally to prevent sticking and allow the mixture to thicken as the pineapple releases its juices and the liquid reduces.
Once the chutney reaches a thick, jam-like consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning (you can add more salt, lime juice, or brown sugar based on personal preference).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature.
Transfer the chutney to a sterilized jar or airtight container. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top as a garnish before serving.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a condiment with your favorite dishes!
