We love in-season peaches for pies and other classic summer desserts, but there are so many other great ways to cook with them. Try this simple chutney as a delicious, tangy condiment to serve with grilled chicken or pork chops, on a cheese platter, or even on a sandwich. This is a highly versatile recipe, perfect for your summer pantry.

Ingredients

1 pound peaches (4 to 5 medium)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 small red onion, chopped

1/4 cup golden raisins

1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

2 wide strips lemon zest

1 cinnamon stick

Kosher salt

Directions

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Cut a small X in the base of each peach using a paring knife, then add to the boiling water and cook just long enough to loosen the skins, 20 to 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into the ice water. Remove and peel off the skins, using a paring knife as needed. Pat dry, then chop the peaches into 1/4-inch pieces, discarding the pits.
  2. Combine the sugar, vinegar, red onion, raisins, ginger, lemon zest, cinnamon stick, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the peaches and return to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are tender but still hold their shape and the liquid is syrupy, 30 to 35 minutes. If the chutney seems dry, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
  3. Let the chutney cool, then transfer to a small jar and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 weeks.
