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