How to Make Persimmon Chutney

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion. Sauté until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup orange muscat wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 pounds ripe persimmons (peeled, cored, and chopped), 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat and discard the cinnamon sticks and bay leaves.
  7. Let the chutney cool completely. This allows the flavors to meld.
  8. Once cooled, taste and adjust seasoning. Add cayenne pepper to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more to your preference).
  9. Garnish with a cinnamon stick (optional) before serving.
