Description

If you’re craving a vibrant and flavorful condiment that packs a punch, this Spicy Pineapple Jalapeño Chutney is exactly what you need. The combination of sweet, juicy pineapple and fiery fresh jalapeños creates an irresistible blend that’s perfect for adding a zesty kick to your favorite dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2–3 fresh jalapeños, seeded and minced (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lime juice (for extra tanginess)

Instructions

  1. Dice the Pineapple: Peel, core, and dice your fresh pineapple into small chunks.
  2. Mince the Jalapeños: Adjust heat level by including or removing seeds. For extra spice, keep the seeds.
  3. Chop the Red Onion: Finely chop the onion to enhance the chutney’s texture.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, minced jalapeños, chopped red onion, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pineapple is soft and the chutney thickens slightly.
  6. Taste & Adjust: Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning as needed. Add lime juice for extra tanginess if desired.
  7. Cool & Store: Remove from heat and allow the chutney to cool slightly. Transfer to a clean jar or container and refrigerate.
  8. Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature with grilled meats, cheese, or as a dip with tortilla chips.

Notes

Adjust Heat Level: For a milder chutney, remove the seeds from the jalapeños or use fewer jalapeños. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh pineapple and jalapeños provide the best flavor and texture. Experiment with Flavors: Add herbs like cilantro or mint for a fresh twist.
