Pineapple Chutney
- 1 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks in juice
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger root
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- Pinch of salt
- Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice.
- Chop the pineapple chunks a bit.
- In a saucepan, heat the oil until hot but not smoking.
- Add the mustard seeds, and when they begin to pop (almost immediately), add the ginger.
- Cook for half a minute and then stir in the pineapple and 1/4 cup of the juice.
- Add the raisins, sugar, vinegar, and salt and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat and cook uncovered at a low simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes.
- Serve hot, at room temperature, or chilled.
- The chutney will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- You can substitute fennel seeds for the mustard seeds and dried cranberries for the raisins.
- This chutney adds something special to Roasted Vegetable Curry (page 53) and Spicy Potatoes & Spinach (page 45).
