Ingredients

• 4 medium (pitted and chopped) nectarines
• 2 cups (fresh, diced) pineapple
• 1 small (finely chopped) red onion
• 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon (optional) red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare your ingredients: pit and chop the nectarines, dice the pineapple, finely chop the red onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Add the chopped nectarines, diced pineapple, red onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pan. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, red chili flakes (if using), and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

As the chutney cooks, it will thicken and the fruit will break down. Use a wooden spoon to gently mash some of the fruit chunks for a smoother texture, leaving a few for added texture if desired.

Step 7

Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning if necessary (add more salt, sugar, or spices to taste).

Step 8

Once the chutney reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Transfer the cooled chutney to sterilized jars or airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Step 10

Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, cheese, or as a sandwich spread. Enjoy!
