Ingredients

• 4 pieces ripe persimmons (peeled and diced)
• 1 medium red onion (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup raisins
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for spice)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the persimmons and dice them into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of water over medium heat and add the finely chopped red onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced persimmons, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground cardamom, chili flakes (if using), salt, and the remaining water to the saucepan.

Step 5

Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The mixture should thicken and the persimmons should break down.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or sugar as needed.

Step 8

Once the chutney has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight jar and refrigerate. It will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment or accompaniment to various dishes.
