  • Smoked Bacon
  • Apple Cider
  • Tart Green Apples

How to Make Apple Bacon Chutney

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup apple cider, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly for the first 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. While the mixture simmers, cook 4 slices of diced bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet and set aside to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Add 2 cups of peeled and diced apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended) and 1/4 cup orange juice to the saucepan with the vinegar mixture.
  6. Stir in the crispy bacon pieces.
  7. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Let the chutney cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm over pancakes, waffles, or savory scones!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
