Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull them, and cut them into quarters.
Peel and finely dice the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the diced red onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and softened.
Add the quartered strawberries to the saucepan and stir gently to combine.
Mix in the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, red chili flakes, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Let the chutney simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the strawberries are broken down and the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and ground black pepper.
Allow the chutney to cool to room temperature before transferring it to sterilized jars or an airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve alongside cheese boards, roasts, or as a savory sandwich spread.
