Ingredients

  • 1 2 1/2-pound pumpkin, peeled and seeded
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 2 small red chili peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 1/2 cups white wine vinegar

Method

  • Dice pumpkin.
  • Place in wide saucepan with remaining ingredients.
  • Mix well.
  • Place pan over medium-high heat, bring to boil, then reduce to medium-low.
  • Simmer uncovered until pumpkin is very tender and liquid has thickened, 45 minutes to an hour.
  • (If chutney thickens but pumpkin is not soft, partially cover, cook as needed.)
  • While chutney cooks, sterilize two one-pint canning jars and their lids in boiling water for several minutes.
  • When chutney is ready, spoon it into jars, cover with lids and allow to cool.
  • Can be stored unopened at room temperature for up to three months.
