Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Loquats
- 150 grams Sugar
- 100 milliliters Apple cider vinegar
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 3 Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash and peel the loquats. Cut them in half, remove the seeds, and chop the fruit into small pieces. Set aside.
Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the chopped loquats, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Add the red chili flakes, cinnamon stick, cloves, and salt. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Use a spoon to mash the loquats slightly as they soften, or leave them chunky if you prefer a more textured chutney.
Once the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Discard the cinnamon stick and cloves. Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars and seal tightly.
Allow the jars to cool completely before refrigerating. The chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
