Liquids
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Dried Fruit

Spices & Seasonings
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large saucepan, combine the diced apples, chopped onion, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, grated fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, and salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- Bring to a Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and evenly distribute the flavors.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer uncovered for 45-50 minutes. Stir occasionally until the apples become tender and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
- Cool Down: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chutney to cool to room temperature. This step helps the flavors to meld and sets the texture.
- Store: Transfer the cooled chutney into a clean jar or airtight container. Seal and refrigerate. The chutney will keep well for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
- Serve: Enjoy the Spiced Apple Chutney as a delicious condiment alongside roasted meats, cheese boards, sandwiches, or your favorite dishes to add a sweet and spicy touch.
Notes
- Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith for balanced sweetness and acidity.
- Ensure the chutney is fully cooled before refrigerating to avoid condensation.
- The chutney tastes even better if allowed to mature for a day or two in the fridge before serving.
- For a smoother texture, pulse the cooled chutney briefly in a food processor.
- Can be frozen for up to 3 months in airtight containers or freezer bags.
