Ingredients

• 4 cups ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the tomatoes, onion, and red bell pepper. Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the onion and chop it finely. De-seed and chop the red bell pepper finely as well.

Step 3

Peel and grate the fresh ginger and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or pot, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, red bell pepper, grated ginger, and minced garlic.

Step 5

Add the apple cider vinegar and brown sugar to the pot. Stir well to ensure the sugar begins to dissolve.

Step 6

Stir in the mustard seeds, ground coriander, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Place the pot on medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chutney simmer uncovered for about 40-45 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or spices as needed for your preference.

Step 10

Once thickened, remove the chutney from heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars for storage.

Step 11

Allow the chutney to cool completely before sealing the jars and storing them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your low fat homemade tomato chutney as a versatile condiment!
