Description

Spicy Pineapple Jalapeño Chutney is a vibrant and zesty condiment that balances sweet pineapple with the fiery kick of jalapeños. Perfect as a topping for grilled meats, tacos, or as a flavorful dip.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Juice of 1 lime


Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple, onion, jalapeños, ginger, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, cumin, and cinnamon.
  2. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until thickened and jam-like.
  4. Stir in lime juice and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a jar or container and refrigerate.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature with meats, tacos, or cheese platters.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeños to your heat preference—keep seeds for extra spice.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • Tastes even better the next day as flavors meld.
  • Try pairing with grilled chicken, pork, or fish.
