Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 T Extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ med red onion chopped
  • 1 T ginger fresh, finely minced
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • ½ t ground cloves
  • ½ t whole cumin seeds
  • ¼ t salt
  • ¼ c apple cider vinegar
  • c honey
  • 1 t garlic chili sauce* or to taste**
  • 4 large apples cored and peeled
  • 1 large orange peeled and chopped with juice
  • 1 T orange zest

Instructions
 

  • Select the “Sauté” Instant Pot function and set to highest setting.
  • Next, add olive oil. When hot, add the red onion, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, cumin seed, and salt.
  • Stir to combine well and sauté. Stir occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, and the spices are fragrant, about 4-5 minutes in total.
  • Add the cider vinegar to pot and deglaze by gently scraping the bottom to loosen browned bits.
  • Add the honey, garlic chili sauce, apples, orange, and orange zest. Stir to combine and turn off the Instant Pot. 
  • Cover and lock the Instant Pot lid into place. Turn the pressure valve to “Sealing” and select the “Manual” setting on high for 3 minutes.
  • After the cooking time, allow pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes. Next do a quick release for any remaining pressure. When no more steam is present, carefully remove the lid.
  • Select the “Sauté” function and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  • Heat, while stirring, until the mixture thickens, and the excess liquid is reduced, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Turn the Instant Pot off and allow to cool completely.
  • Apple chutney can be stored in airtight containers, like glass jars, in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

*The garlic chili sauce can be found in most grocery stores or online
**The garlic chili sauce is spicy, so reduce or increase amount depending on how spicy you would like the chutney.
