Ingredients

- 2 cups pitted tart cherries (fresh or frozen, if you need to take a shortcut)
- 1 cup sugar (or a sprinkle more if you like it sweet)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion (the tear-jerker of the ingredients list)
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (get that tang, baby!)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (because why not kick it up a notch?)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (let’s keep it cozy)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (just a pinch for the adventurous)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (the classic finishing touch)
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice (full of surprises!)
Instructions
Now that you’re practically a cherry chutney aficionado, let’s dive into the ‘how-to’ part. Trust me, your kitchen will smell amazing!
- In a large saucepan, combine the tart cherries, sugar, onion, apple cider vinegar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and allspice. Give it all a good stir as if you’re mixing up a scientific experiment (but tastier).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. Let the ingredients mingle and create a strong bond—like a rom-com but with food.
- After 30 minutes, the chutney will thicken up nicely. Stir it occasionally, and if you feel like it, talk to your chutney. You know, just a little encouragement never hurt.
- Once it’s done, remove it from the heat and let it cool. You can store it in jars or simply dive in with a spoon when no one’s watching.
There you have it! Spiced Cherry Chutney that’s so good, you’ll want to share it with everyone—or keep it all to yourself and let them wonder how you got so good at this cooking thing. Enjoy!
