Cherry apple chutney with ginger

Ingredients

• 200 g of peeled and diced apples
• 200 g of pitted cherries
• 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 100 g of dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 2 small green chili peppers, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• One bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon of thyme
• pepper, to taste

In a saucepan, combine the apples, cherries, cider vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, chili peppers, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and black pepper. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar.

Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 40 to 50 minutes, covered.

Towards the end, remove the lid and allow the excess liquid to evaporate so that the chutney thickens.

Remove the bay leaf, let cool, then transfer to jars.
