Ingredients

• 250 grams fresh blueberries
• 1 small (finely chopped) red onion
• 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 1 clove (minced) garlic
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 60 milliliters apple cider vinegar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 0.25 teaspoons ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoons chili flakes
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (freshly ground) black pepper
• 50 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh blueberries under cold water and set them aside to drain.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and add the finely chopped red onion. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pan, stirring frequently, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Toss in the cinnamon stick, ground allspice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the blueberries to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Allow the chutney to simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the cinnamon stick. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or sugar as needed.

Step 8

Let the chutney cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
