Apple Chutney

Ingredients:

Fruit

• 7 sliced apples - peeled, cored, chopped (you can also add pears in this mix)

• 1 medium onion chopped finely

• 1 4 inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped

• 1/3 cup red wine vinegar

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 tbsp white sugar

• 1-2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp allspice

• 1 tsp fennel seeds

• Optional: 2 tbsp chopped walnuts

• Optional: 1/3 cup sherry

Method:

1. In a saucepan, mix everything and bring to a boil

2. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes

3. Check at 10-minute intervals and stir to ensure you have a nice, thick consistency. You can add more water to help with the reduction process but remember, the apples and pears will give off a lot of water

Other Stuff you may or may not care about that’s usually very annoying when you click on blogs and you have to scroll through a chapter on the history of food and personal life woohaa before going to the actual recipe.

This chutney is savoury and sweet as it’s infused with ginger and onions to give you the perfect fall feels. It goes great with white meat, or any other savoury dish. The picture above has sherry, pears and nuts. I made the chutney this year without the sherry, pears, nuts, or fennel seeds and it came out with more of a milder flavour for my tastebuds and a lighter colour but overall - still delicious.
