Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium nectarines
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small red chili pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pit the nectarines, then dice them into small, bite-sized pieces.
Peel and finely dice the red onion. Mince the red chili pepper (remove seeds for less heat if desired) and the fresh ginger.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced nectarines, red onion, red chili pepper, and minced ginger.
Add the honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the nectarines soften and the relish thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and stir it into the cooled relish for a burst of freshness.
Serve the nectarine relish alongside grilled or roasted chicken. It can also be prepared ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
