Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 10 medium plums, pitted and chopped, or more to taste

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves, or more to taste

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

Directions

  1. Combine plums and sugar in a heavy-bottomed stockpot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture turns to liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.

  2. Stir in salt, ginger, chili powder, cloves, and cinnamon; cook over low heat until desired consistency is reached, stirring often to prevent chutney from sticking, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust spices if needed.

  3. Stir in vinegar; cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, 5 minutes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate and use within 3 to 4 weeks.

Cook's Notes:

Place a drop of chutney into a bowl filled with cold water. If it sets and doesn't spread, it is ready. Otherwise, cook it a little more and test again.

If not using within 3 to 4 weeks, bottle chutney in clean, sterilized bottles and process using a pressure canner, or other canning method.
