Instructions:
-
In a large heavy pot (non-aluminum), combine apples, white wine vinegar, golden raisins, minced ginger, minced garlic, salt, and hot pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
-
-
Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low.
-
Cover the pot and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. You’ll notice the apricots plumping up, infusing the chutney with their sweet essence.
-
After 10 minutes, remove the lid and stir in the white sugar. Allow the chutney to return to a simmer, uncovered. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking. The mixture should thicken and develop a rich, jam-like consistency.
-
Once the chutney has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Transfer the chutney into a clean pint (2-cup) jar. Allow it to cool a bit more before screwing on the lid.
-
Store the chutney in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It pairs beautifully with pork roast, chicken, sandwiches, or as a topping for cream cheese and crackers.
-
