How to Make Pineapple Chutney Microwave

  1. Peel and core a fresh pineapple, then cut it into 1/2-inch chunks.
  2. In a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, combine the pineapple chunks with 1 cup of brown sugar. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent on one side.
  3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of white vinegar until smooth.
  5. Carefully remove the casserole dish from the microwave and stir the cornstarch mixture into the pineapple and brown sugar.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of chopped red onion, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
  7. Cover the casserole dish and microwave for another 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through (after 4 minutes).
  8. Let the chutney cool completely before serving. It's delicious at room temperature or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
