Ready in about 20 minutes, this easy Chutney with Chinese Jujube Fruit is sweet and savory. It is delicious to snack on with some crackers and is also a delightful addition to a charcuterie platter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chinese jujube fruit (16 jujubes)
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp cayenne
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup Approximately 1/2 a Red onion
- 2 tsp Fresh Ginger
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 3 cups water (to soften the jujube)
Instructions
- Fill a small pan with 3 cups water and place it on a stovetop set to high heat to boil. When the water is boiling, add the pitted dry Chinese jujube fruit to it. Cover. Turn the stove off and let the covered pan with the jujubes sit for 15-18 minutes.
- Peel and chop the onion and ginger.
- Add the oil to another pan and add the chopped ginger and onion. Let these sauté over medium-low heat for 15 minutes or so, stirring often so they do not burn.
- Then, add the sautéed onion and ginger to a food processor (or blender).
- Drain the jujube, reserving the liquid (jujube tea) to enjoy later. Add the drained jujube to the food processor. Also, add in the spices, red wine vinegar, and brown sugar. Blend/grind the ingredients until they are well incorporated and the consistency you prefer.
- Scoop into a serving bowl and enjoy with crackers or even toast!
