Description
A bold, sweet, and fiery chutney made with pineapple and jalapeños, perfect as a dip, topping, or marinade for a variety of dishes.
Ingredients
1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced
2–3 fresh jalapeños, seeded and minced (adjust for heat preference)
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Dice the pineapple, mince the jalapeños, and chop the red onion.
- In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients: pineapple, jalapeños, red onion, vinegar, brown sugar, spices, and seasoning.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chutney thickens and the pineapple softens.
- Taste and adjust seasoning; add lime juice if desired.
- Let cool slightly, then transfer to a clean container and refrigerate.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with grilled meats, cheese platters, or tortilla chips.
Notes
- Use habaneros for more heat.
- Honey or maple syrup can replace brown sugar for a different flavor profile.
- Chopped cilantro adds a fresh, herbal note.
- Add cinnamon or clove for a warm spice variation.
- Blend part of the chutney for a smoother texture.
- Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
