Each spoonful brings the tender fruit's sweetness together with vinegar's punch and warm spices, setting it apart. It's a versatile addition.

How to prepare Apple Chutney

To make apple and onion chutney, make sure to sanitize the jars as per the Ministry of Health guidelines at the end of the recipe. Peel the apples 1 and coarsely chop them into cubes 2, then clean the onions and cut them into thin slices 3.

Peel and cut the fresh ginger into strips 4. Pour the cloves and coriander seeds into a mortar 5 and crush them with the pestle until they are powdered 6.

Pour the onions into a large pot 7 along with the apples 8 and ginger 9.

Add the spice powder 10, raisins 11, and brown sugar 12.

Finally, add the salt 13 and half of the vinegar 14. Mix everything well 15 and cook over medium heat for about an hour.

After an hour, pour in the remaining vinegar 16, lower the heat, and cook gently for another hour. After cooking, the mixture will be very thick, similar to jam 17. If you wish to consume the apple chutney immediately, you can let it cool and serve it 18.

If you prefer to store it longer, transfer the hot mixture into the jars that you have previously sanitized along with the lids 19. Close the jars with the lids 20 and turn them upside down 21. Let the jars cool upside down so that a vacuum seal is formed. Once cooled, check that the lid does not make a "click-clack" sound when you press it: if the vacuum has been achieved correctly, wait at least a month before consuming.

Storage

Once opened, apple and onion chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. If a vacuum seal has been created, you can store it in a cool, dry place for about 3 months.

Tip

Serve apple and onion chutney with aged cheeses or accompany it with flavorful meat stews!

IMPORTANT

Homemade preparation of preserves and jams can present health risks. In a domestic setting, it is not possible to create the conditions and measures necessary to ensure the safety and suitability of food, which industrial procedures are capable of providing to prevent dangerous contamination. It is therefore important to strictly follow food safety guidelines to reduce risks, but it should always be remembered that the same level of food safety as that of professional-level preserves and jams cannot be achieved. For correct preparation of homemade preserves, we refer to the Ministry of Health guidelines.
