Made with fresh, ripe plums, this is a tasty and easy homemade plum chutney recipe that is ready in 25 minutes! Naturally gluten-free and vegan, this plum chutney pairs well with everything from burgers to curries to crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 5 Plums (1 - 1/4 cup approx.)
  • 1/2 A medium sized red onion (1/2 cup chopped approx.))
  • 1/3 inch Fresh Ginger (Approx. 1 tbsp chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (zero calorie sweetener, or brown sugar or maple syrup)
  • 3/4 tsp cayenne powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First off, peel and chop the onion and the ginger.
  • Then, rinse and chop the plums, discarding the pit. The smaller the plums are chopped, the less chunky this chutney will be.
  • Add the oil to a small pan or small pot and set it on a stovetop set to medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and ginger to it and let these saute for about 5 minutes, stirring often so they do not burn.
  • Then, add in the plums, red wine vinegar, sweetener, ground cayenne, smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon powder, turmeric powder, and cloves to the pan.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and let this mixture simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, turn the heat to medium-high heat and let this simmer for a minute longer, stirring well so the liquid thickens. Then, remove the pan from the stovetop.
  • If you prefer a less chunky chutney, use an immersion blender to blend up this chutney. Or, add it to a blender and pulse a few times.
  • Then, season this chutney with salt and black pepper to taste and stir well.
  • Place spoonfuls of this chutney in jars and seal them well.
  • This chutney can be eaten when it is made or stored and enjoyed later.
