First, peel and roughly chop up the onion, garlic, ginger as well as the pineapple, and set these aside.
Add olive oil to a pan placed over a stovetop set to medium heat.
Add in the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes.
Then add in the smoked paprika, cayenne, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, and pineapple.
Let simmer for about 7-10 minutes, stirring often. Then remove from heat and let cool slightly. As it cools, it should thicken up some.
This chutney should be quite chunky, so you can pour it into a blender or food processor and pulse it a bit until it is a smoother consistency, or use an immersion blender and blend up the chunks a bit, so this is smoother.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy with your favorite curries or burgers!
Notes
*You can substitute maple syrup for brown sugar or honey, and you can leave out the cayenne for a mild chutney. For more substitutions, check the blog post.**Stove tops can differ in heat so please keep this in mind when preparing this chutney.
