Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the diced nectarines, mangoes, chopped red onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney should thicken and the fruits should break down.
- Remove from heat and allow the chutney to cool completely in the saucepan.
- Transfer the cooled chutney to sterilized jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve the chutney as a condiment with grilled meats, curries, or as an enticing topping for sandwiches and cheese platters.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruits like peaches or apricots for a unique twist.
- This chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
