Servings: 16

Ingredients

  • Nectarines (4, diced)
  • Plums (4, diced)
  • Red onion (1, chopped)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
  • Apple cider vinegar (1 cup)
  • Brown sugar (3/4 cup)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Ground cloves (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the diced nectarines, diced plums, chopped red onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar completely.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney will thicken as the fruit breaks down and the flavors meld.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chutney to cool completely in the pan.
  5. Once cooled, transfer the chutney to sterilized jars and seal tightly. For optimal flavor, refrigerate the chutney for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the spices to meld beautifully.
  6. Serve the chutney alongside cheese platters, grilled meats, or as a condiment for gourmet sandwiches. Enjoy the burst of flavors!
