Peel and dice the pumpkin into small cubes, approximately 1–2 cm in size.
In a large saucepan, heat a small drizzle of oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced pumpkin, ensuring the pieces are well coated with the onion and ginger mixture.
Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for 30–35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender and begins to break down.
Using a wooden spoon, gently mash some of the pumpkin cubes to create a thicker consistency, leaving a few pieces intact for texture.
Remove the chutney from heat and allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Seal the jars while the chutney is still warm, and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a condiment alongside bread, cheese, meats, or curries, or use as a spread for sandwiches.
