Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine plums and sugar in a heavy-bottomed stockpot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture turns to liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in salt, ginger, chili powder, cloves, and cinnamon; cook over low heat until desired consistency is reached, stirring often to prevent chutney from sticking, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust spices if needed.

Step 3

Stir in vinegar; cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, 5 minutes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate and use within 3 to 4 weeks.
