Autumn Apple Plum Chutney

This Apple Plum Chutney is the heart of autumn, a jewel-toned condiment bursting with the sweetness of ripe plums and the tartness of crisp apples, warmed with cinnamon and a hint of clove. Perfect for elevating curries, cheesecakes, or enjoying by the spoonful.
Servings: 2 cup
Calories: 66

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups (750 mL) unpeeled, diced red apples
  • 3 cups (750 mL) quartered prune plums, about 15
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL / 1 fl oz) maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons (7 mL / 0.2 fl oz) minced lemon peel
  • 3 tablespoons (45 mL / 1.5 fl oz) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons (10 mL / 0.3 fl oz) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL / 0.1 fl oz) cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small piece of minced fresh ginger along with the other spices.
  • Make a large batch during peak season! This chutney freezes beautifully in small containers for up to 6 months.
  • For the best texture, use a firm, crisp apple variety like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji that will hold its shape during cooking.

Method
 

  1. Combine all —diced apples, quartered plums, maple syrup, lemon peel, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves—in a medium saucepan. 2.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. 3.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer. 4.
  4. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the plums have broken down into a thick, jammy consistency.
  5. Don't limit this chutney to savory dishes. It's a fantastic, unexpected topping for vegan ice cream, cheesecake, or even swirled into oatmeal.
