How to Make Pumpkin Ginger Chutney

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a few tablespoons of water if the chutney becomes too thick. Using a potato masher, gently mash some of the pumpkin to create a slightly chunky texture if desired.
  3. After 50-60 minutes of simmering, remove the cinnamon stick.
  4. Carefully ladle the hot chutney into sterilized, hot jars, leaving about ½ inch of headspace. Seal immediately and allow to cool completely.
  5. Once completely cool, check the seals to ensure they are airtight. Label your jars with the date and store in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2-3 weeks.
