Equipment

  • Chef's knife
  • Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot

Ingredients

  • 3 apples, cored (but not peeled) 2 tart Granny Smith apples, 1 Honey Crisp (see Ingredient Notes in the post)
  • 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 4 teaspoons ginger paste
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 3 ounces apple cider vinegar, a little more than ⅓ cup
  • ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • ½ teaspoon brown mustard seeds
  • teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • cup golden raisins

Instructions

  • Finely chop the cored apples to roughly ¼" X ¼" pieces. It is not necessary to peel the apples.
  • Combine the apples, onion, ginger paste, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, pepper flakes and salt in a heavy bottomed sauce pan or pot over medium heat. Le Creuset cookware is perfect for this.
  • Bring the mixture to a low boil, and reduce the heat to simmer for 1 hour, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir occasionally to ensure none of the chutney sticks to the bottom of the pot.  
  • Add the raisins, and simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Serve immediately while warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in mason jars or other airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
  • Note: This recipe is not using a canning process to seal the jars, and therefore has a shortened shelf-life.
