Description
A flavorful Zimbabwean fruit chutney made with a mix of fresh fruits and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups diced mango (about 2 medium ripe mangoes)
- 1 cup diced pineapple (about 1 small pineapple)
- 1 cup diced apple (about 1 medium apple)
- 1 cup diced onion (about 1 medium onion)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the diced mango, pineapple, apple, and onion.
- Add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chutney thickens and the fruits are soft.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, transfer the chutney to sterilized jars and seal tightly. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier chutney, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a diced jalapeño during cooking.
- Substitute the mango with diced peaches or apricots for a different flavor profile.
