Nectarine Chutney

Ingredients

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Cumin seeds

1 teaspoon

Mustard seeds

1 teaspoon

Raisins

1/2 cup

Brown sugar

1 cup

Apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Ginger

1 tablespoon, freshly grated

Red onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Nectarines

6 medium, pitted and chopped

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped nectarines, finely chopped red onion, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cayenne pepper, and salt.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened to your preferred consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Remove from heat and let the chutney cool completely. This also allows the flavors to develop further.
5. Transfer the cooled chutney to a clean jar or container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve your homemade nectarine chutney as a delightful condiment with grilled meats, a zesty spread for sandwiches, or a surprising topping for cheese and crackers. Enjoy!
