Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ripe plums
- 1 large red onions
- 150 g brown sugar
- 120 ml apple cider vinegar
- 50 g raisins
- 2 cm piece fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground cloves
- 0.5 tsp ground allspice
- 0.25 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
Instructions
Wash and pit the plums, then cut them into quarters. Set aside.
Peel and dice the red onion finely. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger with the apple cider vinegar and brown sugar.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the quartered plums, raisins, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The chutney should thicken and the plums should break down into a jam-like consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, sugar, or spices to balance the flavor.
Once the chutney is thick and aromatic, remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the chutney into sterilized jars while still warm. Seal tightly and let cool completely before storing.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks or process the jars for long-term storage. Serve with your favorite dishes!
