• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pit the nectarines, then dice them into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the red onion. Mince the red chili pepper (remove seeds for less heat if desired) and the fresh ginger.

Step 4

Add the honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the nectarines soften and the relish thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Chop the fresh parsley finely and stir it into the cooled relish for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Serve the nectarine relish alongside grilled or roasted chicken. It can also be prepared ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
