Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup minced yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup pitted and chopped Medjool dates 50 g- add more if you like sweeter
- 2 cups cut fresh fruit like rhubarb apples, or tomatoes ( 1/2 pound)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes optional
Instructions
- In a medium pot, heat olive oil for the chutney. Add in onions and ginger, cooking until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add in vinegar and give a good stir to loosen up any stuck onions. Add in the remaining ingredients and reduce heat to low.
- Let chutney cook until fruit and dates have broken down into a chunky sauce, 15-20 minutes (depending on stove-top heat/fruit.) Taste and add more seasonings if needed. Remove from heat and let sit until ready to serve.
- Refrigerate chutney for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
