Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple (chopped)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and chopping it into small pieces if using fresh fruit; you can also use canned pineapple (drain off the liquid before chopping).
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped pineapple, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, red chili flakes, salt, ground cinnamon, raisins, and water.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the sugar and spices are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap to prevent splattering while still allowing steam to escape.
Step 5
Microwave the mixture on high power for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot) and give the mixture a good stir.
Step 7
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high for another 5 minutes.
Step 8
Remove and stir again, checking the consistency of the chutney. It should be thick and jam-like. If it is still too runny, microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring after each, until the desired thickness is achieved.
Step 9
Allow the chutney to cool slightly before storing it in sterilized jars. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 10
Serve this tangy-sweet chutney as a condiment with curries, roasted meats, or cheeses.
