Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 2 cups of fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt to taste.
- Rinse the blueberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain them well and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, add the finely chopped onion and a splash of water over medium heat. Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes until they become translucent and soft.
- Add the fresh blueberries to the saucepan with the sautéed onions. Stir gently to combine.
- Pour in the apple cider vinegar and add the brown sugar. Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar dissolves and is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle in the chopped fresh sage and cinnamon. Stir the mixture again to incorporate all the flavors.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low.
- Let the chutney simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The blueberries will break down and the mixture will thicken. If it becomes too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water to adjust the consistency.
- Once the chutney has reached your desired thickness, season it with salt to taste. Start with a pinch and adjust as necessary.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the chutney to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Transfer the chutney to a clean jar or airtight container. Let it cool completely before sealing. The chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Serve the blueberry and sage chutney as a condiment with grilled meats, cheese platters, or as a flavorful addition to sandwiches.
Tips
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries and fresh sage. The quality of your ingredients will make a noticeable difference in the final product.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Depending on your taste preferences, feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar. If you prefer a tangier chutney, you can reduce the sugar slightly.
- Experiment with Spices: While cinnamon adds a warm depth to the chutney, consider experimenting with other spices like nutmeg or allspice for a unique twist.
- Consistency Control: If the chutney becomes too thick while simmering, simply add a tablespoon of water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Storage Tips: Make sure to store the chutney in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last up to two weeks, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
- Serving Suggestions: This chutney pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, pork, or even as a topping for a cheese board. Get creative and enjoy it on sandwiches or as a flavorful dip!
