Ingredients

• 500 grams Gooseberries
• 250 grams Granulated Sugar
• 1 large Onion
• 1 medium Apple (peeled and diced)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (grated)
• 2 pieces Garlic Cloves (minced)
• 150 milliliters White Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili Flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 100 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the gooseberries, removing any stems or leaves.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion and apple. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the gooseberries, onion, apple, ginger, and garlic.

Step 4

Add the sugar, white vinegar, water, ground cumin, ground coriander, chili flakes, and salt to the saucepan.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney is ready when the gooseberries have broken down, the mixture has thickened, and all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or chili flakes as desired.

Step 8

Remove the chutney from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

Step 10

Serve as a condiment with cheese, grilled meats, or as a spread in sandwiches for a touch of tangy sweetness.
