Ingredients

• 500 grams Loquats
• 150 grams Sugar
• 100 milliliters Apple cider vinegar
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 3 Cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 100 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the loquats. Cut them in half, remove the seeds, and chop the fruit into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped loquats, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water to the pan. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Add the red chili flakes, cinnamon stick, cloves, and salt. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Use a spoon to mash the loquats slightly as they soften, or leave them chunky if you prefer a more textured chutney.

Step 7

Once the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Discard the cinnamon stick and cloves. Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars and seal tightly.

Step 9

Allow the jars to cool completely before refrigerating. The chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
