This Spiced Peach Chutney with Raisins and Ginger balances juicy peaches and brown sugar with a bright apple cider vinegar tang, rounded by warm curry spices and mustard seed. Preserved ginger adds a gentle heat that lingers, making it a standout condiment for pork, grilled chicken, sharp cheddar, or rich curries. Serve it at cookouts, cheese boards, or as a pantry staple to elevate weeknight dinners.

1

Combine peaches, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, raisins, ginger, onion, garlic, chili powder, mustard seed, and curry powder in a large heavy pot. Tie the pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag and add it to the pot.
2

Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat, uncovered, until the mixture reaches your preferred thickness. It will take about 1 1/2 hours to achieve a good thick chutney. Stir often to prevent scorching on the bottom.
3

Remove the spice bag and ladle the chutney into hot sterilized jars. Wipe the rims with a clean, damp cloth. Seal with lids and rings, and process in a barely simmering water bath for 10 minutes, or for the time advised by your local extension for your area. Ensure the water fully covers the jars.
4

Remove the jars from the stockpot and let them rest, spaced several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid to confirm it does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark place.
