Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams plums
- 150 grams pitted dates
- 1 medium sized red onion
- 100 ml apple cider vinegar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 ml water
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly, remove the pits, and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
Finely chop the red onion, garlic cloves, and pitted dates. Grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine chopped plums, pitted dates, and red onion.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and water to the saucepan.
Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground cumin, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and let the chutney cook for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Allow the mixture to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the chutney is too thick, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool slightly.
Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars if storing, or serve immediately as a condiment.
