How to Make Apple Bacon Chutney
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup apple cider, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly for the first 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the crispy bacon pieces.
- 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.
- Let the chutney cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm over pancakes, waffles, or savory scones!
