Instructions
Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine all remaining ingredients into sauce pan with cider mixture. Simmer until apples are tender and chutney thickens, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. If you have a immersion blender, place the blade into the pan and pulse quickly about 2-3 times. Just until about a fourth of the mixture is blended.
Place in serving bowl or canning jars, cover and refrigerate. Will keep for about 2 weeks refrigerated.
Notes
-This could be made with lots of different fruit combos. Some people like to add nuts to their chutney, or even fresh garlic cloves.
