Homemade condiments are my favorite and I prefer to use local seasonal ingredients to make preserves, jams and chutneys. Very few ingredients, no preservatives and clean flavors are what I aim at when making homemade condiments.

I have added easy jam recipes like strawberry jam, mango jam, fig jam recipes. You might also like to check out pineapple chutney, chili garlic sauce, shcezwan sauce.

This apple chutney or apple jam is one such delicious and flavorful condiment that I make during apple season.

Sweet and red ripe organic apples combine with brown sugar in this recipe and a gentle touch of spices only adds to the taste and flavor.

If you love sweet and spicy condiments with BBQ veggies or grilled dishes, this easy apple chutney is for you. It gets ready in minutes, vegan and gluten free too!

What is Apple Chutney?

Apple chutney is sweet and spicy relish or sauce or spread made with ripe apples and few optional spices. I like to use a mix of cumin powder, cinnamon powder and cardamom powder for flavor.

You can totally play with the spices, sweetener in this recipe to vary the flavor. As we are not using any preservative except lemon juice, keep this chutney refrigerated and use within 8-10 days.

I prefer to use ripe sweet Kashmir apples for this recipe. Kashmir apples are soft and cook very easily, most suited for this recipe.

While you can use any variety of apple like red delicious, granny smith or fuji, make sure they are ripe and sweet. Also adjust sweetener accordingly.
