Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, red bell pepper, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney should thicken and the flavors will meld beautifully.
- After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chutney to cool completely before transferring it to a clean jar or container.
- Serve the pineapple chutney as a condiment with grilled meats, seafood, or as a bold topping for sandwiches and burgers. It pairs wonderfully with pork, chicken, and even vegetarian dishes.

- Feel free to substitute or add other fruits, such as mango or peach, for a different flavor profile.
