Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.75 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Slivered almonds (lightly toasted)
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and dicing them into evenly sized small cubes.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the saucepan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Stir in the chili flakes, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and salt. Let the spices toast for 30 seconds, releasing their aroma.

Step 5

Add the diced apples, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Remove the lid and stir in the raisins. Continue simmering for another 15-20 minutes or until the apples are soft and the mixture has thickened to a chutney-like consistency.

Step 8

Once the desired thickness is achieved, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the toasted slivered almonds.

Step 9

Allow the chutney to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized glass jars.

Step 10

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or process the jars in a water bath for long-term storage.
