Ingredients

• 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into half-inch pieces
• 1 cup chopped yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
• 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from 2 oranges)
• 3/4 cup quality cider vinegar
• 1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon whole dried mustard seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 3/4 cup raisins

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the apples, onion, ginger, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, and salt. Heat over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a boil.
2. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes to an hour, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the chutney has thickened beautifully.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins, allowing them to plump slightly in the residual heat.
4. Let the chutney cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. It keeps for up to two weeks, making it perfect for gift-giving or enjoying throughout the season.
