Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (pitted and chopped) nectarines
- 2 cups (fresh, diced) pineapple
- 1 small (finely chopped) red onion
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon (optional) red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Wash and prepare your ingredients: pit and chop the nectarines, dice the pineapple, finely chop the red onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Add the chopped nectarines, diced pineapple, red onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pan. Stir to combine.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, red chili flakes (if using), and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly incorporated.
Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
As the chutney cooks, it will thicken and the fruit will break down. Use a wooden spoon to gently mash some of the fruit chunks for a smoother texture, leaving a few for added texture if desired.
Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning if necessary (add more salt, sugar, or spices to taste).
Once the chutney reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled chutney to sterilized jars or airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, cheese, or as a sandwich spread. Enjoy!
