Preparation Steps
1
Wash, pit, and dice the plums into small cubes. Peel and finely chop the red onion and garlic. Grate the ginger.
2
In a medium saucepan, heat the apple cider vinegar and brown sugar over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger, then sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the flavors meld.
4
Add the diced plums, chili flakes, and cinnamon, then stir well to combine.
5
Simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums are completely softened and the chutney has thickened.
6
Pour in the tequila, then cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate, leaving only its intense aroma.
7
Season with salt to taste, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
8
If you prefer a smoother chutney, use an immersion blender to purée it. If you prefer a more rustic, chunky version, leave it as is.
9
Let cool, then transfer to sterilized jars. It can be stored in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.
