Sweet and Spicy Peach Relish (Peach Chutney)

A great recipe to use up those extra, or underripe, or overripe peaches this season - a sweet and spicy peach relish! So easy to make, doubles as a peach chutney, and can be customized to your taste! Makes about 1 3/4 cups
Ingredients
- 1 small red onion sliced
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (or cider vinegar)
- 1/2 tbsp crushed chili flakes (I used 1 tbsp because we love it extra spicy)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt (or more as needed)
- 1 1/2 lb fresh peaches (cubed into pieces (about 6 -7 peaches))
Instructions
- 1
Place the onion, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat over medium-heat while stirring to melt the sugar.
- 2
Cook for about 5 - 10 minutes until the liquid thickens and has a syrup-like consistency.
- 3
Add the salt, crushed chili flakes and cubed peaches. Stir to mix.

Heat over medium-heat while stirring frequently until the peaches soften, and the liquid is mostly evaporated. This may take about 20 - 30 minutes.
- 5
Scrape the relish into glass jars and serve as needed (can be stored in the fridge for about 5 - 7 days).
