  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: About 2 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled and diced
  • 2–3 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (seeds removed for milder heat)
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Peel and dice the fresh pineapple into small chunks. Finely chop the jalapeños, removing seeds if a milder heat is desired. Mince the onion, garlic cloves, and fresh ginger to have all ingredients ready before cooking.
  2. Combine ingredients in a saucepan: Place pineapple, jalapeños, onion, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir well to blend all the flavors.
  3. Simmer until thickened: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and allow the chutney to thicken while the pineapple softens and flavors meld.
  4. Cool and store: Once the chutney is thick and glossy, remove it from heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to sterilized jars or containers, refrigerate, and enjoy chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe pineapple for enhanced sweetness and juiciness.
  • Adjust jalapeño quantity and remove seeds to control the heat level.
  • Stir regularly while cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even thickening.
  • Cool chutney completely before sealing jars to preserve flavor and safety.
  • Allow chutney to rest for 24 hours before serving to intensify flavors.
