Pineapple Chutney

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup white rum

1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and diced into ½ inch pieces

½ cup fresh lime juice

½ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground allspice

1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

Pinch of crushed red pepper

Directions:

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion until for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly soft. Add ginger and salt. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add rum to pan; cook 30 seconds or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in pineapple, lime juice, sugar and spices; bring to a boil. Cook 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pineapple is tender and liquid has thickened up to an almost “jammy” consistency. Remove from heat; cool slightly before serving.

The chutney can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat slightly before serving, if desired.
