Apple chutney is a perfect accompaniment to roast chicken or pork! The chutney includes a combination of fresh apples, onion, ginger, orange peel, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar, giving it a tangy, spicy, sweet and sour flavor.
We usually buy chutney, but with our bountiful crop of apples I decided to try my hand at making some from scratch. It’s easy, actually, much easier than I expected!
You just put all of the ingredients into a pot, bring to a simmer, and cook until everything cooks through and the flavors meld together.

Apple Chutney
A Very Yummy Wonderful and Healthy Recipe !!! WOW Nice Photos to See. I’ll Definitely Try it. Thank You For Sharing.
I multiplied the recipe to use up 10 pounds of the almost 13 pounds of green cherry tomatoes I’d harvested when closing my garden for the season. I substituted fresh ginger and a little extra sugar for the candied ginger and used a pickling spice blend. I also cooked it way longer than 45 minutes. Upon tasting, I thought it was too sweet, so I threw the last 2+ pounds of tomatoes, along with another chopped red onion and a generous half cup or so of cider vinegar, into my InstantPot and cooked it down for about 45 minutes. I strained off and discarded the liquid and stirred the tomato/onion mixture into my hot chutney. It was still sweeter than I anticipated, but it is delicious and I am looking forward to using it with pork, chicken, curry, and cream cheese with crackers. My yield was 11 pint-size jars.
