Ingredients

• 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 cup dark raisins
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large heavy-based pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced onions to the pan and toss to coat them in the oil.

Step 3

Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until they are lightly browned and caramelised.

Step 4

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the caramelised onions and stir until the sugar melts completely.

Step 5

Add apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and raisins to the pan. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. If the mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, add a tablespoon of water and stir.

Step 7

Season the chutney with black pepper, allspice, and smoked paprika, then stir well to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars while still warm. Allow it to cool completely before sealing the jars.

Step 10

Store the chutney in the refrigerator and use within 3 months.
