- 100 ml apple cider vinegar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the plums thoroughly, remove the pits, and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
Finely chop the red onion, garlic cloves, and pitted dates. Grate the fresh ginger.
Step 3
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine chopped plums, pitted dates, and red onion.
Step 4
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and water to the saucepan.
Step 5
Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground cumin, and salt.
Step 6
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and let the chutney cook for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Allow the mixture to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the chutney is too thick, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool slightly.
