Apple Pears And Dates Chutney / Compote

• apple : 4 small washed and cut in cubes
• pear : 1 big washed and cut in cubes
• ginger : 1 tbsp minced
• dates : 6-8
• chilli Red dry whole, : 2-3
• cinnamon stick : 1 big
• cumin powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• roast
• coffee
• salt
• black pepper
• chilli powder : to taste, optional
• vinegar : 2 tbsp
• brown sugar or regular : to taste or 1/2 cup

1. Soak dates, red dry whole chillies and cinnamon stick together for 1-2 hrs
2. Cut the fruits. I had cut them early so I soaked them in 2 tbsp vinegar to avoid discoloring. Or else, the vinegar can be added later on.
3. Blend the soaked dates, cinnamon, red chili whole, ginger and the fruits, everything in the blender to puree.
4. In a pan, add brown sugar and the puree. Add salt and pepper and cumin powder. Cook till water is evaporated on low flame. It may take from 1/2 hr to 1 hr, depending upon the water content of the fruit.
5. Cool the chutney and store in air tight jar in the fridge .
6. Enjoy with crackers, on sandwiches, on toasted crostinis, as a dip with cream cheese for your more fancy party crackers and pretzels.
