Spicy Caribbean Pineapple or Mango Chutney

Step 1

Peel the onions and chop.Using a large heavy pan, heat the oil then add the onions and cook until they become transparent. Make sure you don't let the onions brown as this will result in a bitter taste.

Step 2

Add the remaining ingredients to the pan. Stir to combine and leave to boil on a medium heat for 30 minutes stirring occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

After 30 minutes, turn the heat down and let the chutney reduce down until it becomes a thick jam like consistency. This should take between 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir every now and again to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan. When the chutney has reduced enough so it is thick (like jam), you can use a potato masher to mash it down or if you like the texture lumpy, leave as it is. I have mashed mine (in the photo above) until it is only slightly lumpy.

Step 4

If you are going to use the chutney within the next few days, it will keep nicely in the fridge once cooled, in an air tight container.
