Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple (chopped)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and chopping it into small pieces if using fresh fruit; you can also use canned pineapple (drain off the liquid before chopping).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped pineapple, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, red chili flakes, salt, ground cinnamon, raisins, and water.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the sugar and spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap to prevent splattering while still allowing steam to escape.
Microwave the mixture on high power for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot) and give the mixture a good stir.
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high for another 5 minutes.
Remove and stir again, checking the consistency of the chutney. It should be thick and jam-like. If it is still too runny, microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring after each, until the desired thickness is achieved.
Allow the chutney to cool slightly before storing it in sterilized jars. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve this tangy-sweet chutney as a condiment with curries, roasted meats, or cheeses.
