  4. Stir and continue simmering, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes more. Remove from heat; discard onion and ginger for smoother consistency. Stir in white wine vinegar.

  5. Let chutney cool at least 2 hours at room temperature then transfer into a sterilized jar or container. Seal by canning in boiling water bath, and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks until ready to serve.

Cook’s Note

Use tart cooking apples like Granny Smith, Gala, or Pink Lady.

For a jammier-consistency, use apples that are better for sauce like Fuji, Macintosh or Cortland.

Editor's Note:

This recipe was tested in our test kitchen and updated to include golden raisins and reduce the amount of vinegar. The original recipe had 1 cup of vinegar.
