How to Make Spiced Persimmon Chutney

  1. Combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup chopped ginger, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring often, until the mixture begins to thicken (about 25 minutes).
  4. Gently stir in 4 cups peeled and chopped ripe persimmons.
  5. Continue to simmer until the persimmons are tender and the chutney has reached your desired consistency (about 5-7 more minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The chutney will thicken further as it cools.
  7. Transfer to a clean, airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
