Ingredients

  • The chutney is macerated in vinegar and sugar, creating a syrupy sauce that also softens the fruit.
  • Yield: Makes about 3 cups
  • 2 large firm but ripe peaches or nectarines (about 12 ounces total), halved, pitted, thinly sliced
  • 2 small firm but ripe apricots or plums (about 6 ounces total), halved, pitted, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup quartered pitted cherries
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala*

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all fruit in medium bowl. Add sugar, vinegar, and garam masala; toss gently. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature to allow juices to form and to blend flavors, tossing occasionally.

DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
