How to Make Chili Apple Tequila Chutney

  1. **Prep the Ingredients:** Dice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups diced). Mince 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger.
  2. **Sauté the Apples:** Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter lightly foams, add the diced apples and minced ginger.
  3. **Bloom the Spices:** Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften. Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of chili powder.
  4. **Add the Liquids:** Add 1/4 cup of good quality tequila and 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar.
  5. **Reduce and Simmer:** Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the apple cider vinegar has reduced by about half and the chutney has thickened slightly.
  6. **Season to Taste:** Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lime juice and salt to taste. Adjust the chili powder to your desired level of spiciness.
