Cheapskate Chutney - Vegan

Submitted by: monica on April 25, 2020

2 Cups

Ingredients

1 tablespoon neutral vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced red onion
1 tablespoon minced hot chile or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water
1 3/4 cups minced canned pineapple, well drained
1/2 cup chopped mixed dried fruit
(see note below)
2 tablespoons apple cider
vinegar

Note: Mixed dried fruit is sold in packages and in bulk in well-stocked supermarkets and natural food stores. It usually contains dried apricots, plums, and raisins and sometimes also includes dried apples and dates. If unavailable, use raisins (no need to chop these) alone or in combination with chopped dates, dried apricots, or other dried fruit.

Instructions

In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and chile. Cover and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, sugar, salt, water, pineapple, and dried fruit and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir in the vinegar. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a week.

Variation: Replace the canned pineapple with a soft fresh fruit such as chopped peaches, mangoes, or apricots. You can also replace the pineapple with a firm fresh fruit, such as apples or pears, but you will need to cook a bit longer until the fruit softens.
