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!
