A tangy fresh pineapple chutney with just a hint of *heat from cayenne.


Cooking spray
1/2 tsp black mustard seeds

2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 medium pineapple, diced (about 3 cups) **

Spray medium nonstick saucepan with cooking spray; over medium heat, add mustard seed and cover. When seeds pop, add onion and garlic. Saute over medium til softened. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 or 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until juices thicken. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and transfer to clean jar. Store refrigerated.


*For a hotter chutney, you can increase cayenne or add chopped chile peppers or dried red pepper flakes.
**I used the supersweet type of pineapple.
