Making a homemade chutney is both easy, quick and can be made healthier than the store bought once. You really only need one pot, the spices you like to season it with, a sweetener (not necessary if the fruits are sweet enough) and something a little acid. Then you just put everything in the pot and let it shimmer until it turns out into a thick and delicious chutney. This chutney is made with plums and seasoned with chili, ginger and cinnamon which makes it both spicy and warm. The amount of spices can of course be adapted according to taste and preferences. Serve this chutney with chicken, meat, add it to your cheese and charcuterie board or add it on a toast or sandwich. This plum chutney is both gluten and refined sugar free.
A few tips:
- Use ripe and juicy plums. Don’t use bland and dry once, it really makes the biggest difference and makes the chutney sweet and flavorful instead of bland and tasteless.
- You can adapt the amount of ginger, chili and cinnamon according to taste.
- This chutney can be made without any additional sweetener since the plums already are sweet. But then the expiration date will be a bit shorter than if you use some sugar.
- Let the chutney shimmer and don’t boil it on too high temperature. It should shimmer until the water has evaporated, the plums and onions are soft, so soft that they kind of fall apart.
- Store the chutney in a jar in the fridge.
