Ingredients
- 3 large (peeled, cored, and diced) Granny Smith apples
- 2 small (finely chopped) Red chili peppers
- 60 ml Tequila
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 50 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 1 medium (finely chopped) Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the Granny Smith apples by peeling, coring, and dicing them into small pieces. Finely chop the red chili peppers and onion, grate the ginger, and mince the garlic.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, red chili peppers, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, and salt.
Step 3
Pour in the water and place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cook uncovered for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking. The apples should soften and break down, forming a thick, chunky consistency.
Step 5
Once the apples are fully cooked, add the tequila to the saucepan. Stir it in thoroughly and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off while retaining the tequila's flavor.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, sugar, or vinegar to balance the flavors.
Step 7
Remove the chutney from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars or an airtight container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing.
Step 8
Store the Chili Apple Tequila Chutney in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or process for long-term storage using a proper canning method. Serve with your favorite dishes or as a flavorful spread!
