Step-by-Step Method
Prep the produce
Peel and dice the apples. Chop the tomatoes and onions. Grate the ginger, mince the garlic, and finely chop the chilies.
Combine in a pot
Add apples, tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, chilies, and raisins to a wide pot. Pour in lemon juice and vinegar, then add brown sugar and salt. Stir well.
Bring to a simmer
Heat over medium until it starts to boil. Once bubbling, lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
Cook until thick
Simmer for about 2 hours, stirring now and then so nothing sticks. When the apples are very soft and the chutney looks thick and glossy, it’s ready. If it’s still loose, simmer 10–15 minutes with the lid slightly ajar.
Cool and store
Take off the heat and let it cool. Spoon into a clean jar, then refrigerate. Give it a quick stir before serving.
