Apple Chutney (From The New Revised Moosewood Cookbook) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs apples (I have used many kinds)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves or 1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 dash cayenne (or more, to taste)

Preparation

Coarsely chop the apples, with or without peel.
Place them in a medium sized saucepan with all remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer.
Simmer uncovered about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until everything is very soft.
Enjoy the delicious smell wafting through your house.
Cool and transfer to a sterile jar.
Refrigerate.
Sometimes the apples I use are harder and still chunky at the end of cooking, so I mash them with the potato masher.
