Sweet and spicy Jalapeño and Strawberry Chutney.
Delicious Jalapeño and Strawberry Chutney made with fresh strawberries, ginger, mustard and lime. This chutney is sweet, spicy, tangy, and super flavorsome. It’s a simple, but incredibly versatile recipe that require only a handful of ingredients and takes just 30 minutes to make. Jalapeño and Strawberry Chutney is heavenly as a dip for tofu, tempeh, veggies, tortilla chips, crackers, or just simply spread on a slice of toast.
As always, this recipe is totally customizable. You can play around with the measurements and adjust the recipe to your taste. Use more jalapeño for a spicier version, or add more strawberries/maple syrup for a sweeter chutney. You could even add additional fresh or dried fruits to the recipe! You can also experiment with the spices, for example a bit of cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, or allspice would be lovely here too. Just taste the chutney as you go and I promise it’s gonna turn out great!

This sounds so yummy! How long will it keep in the fridge?
green evi says
Hi Trish, I’d say it’ll keep for 2-3 weeks in the fridge for sure.
Anca says
What a lovely idea. I’ve started using strawberries in savoury dishes and they work great. This chutney must be delicious.
green evi says
Thanks, Anca! I really love berries in savory dishes too 🙂

Sweet and spicy is always a winner combo 😛
Janis Long says
Hi……could I make a larger batch and put in small sealer jars ?
green evi says
Hi Janis,
I’ve never tried doing it personally, but I some people wrote me they did it successfully. So as long as you keep everything nice and clean, I’m pretty sure it will work. 🙂
Let me know how it turned out for you!
tasty says
Just 2 tbs vinegar?
green evi says
You can definitely use more if you prefer 🙂
Josephine says
Hi Green Evi,
Just about to make this recipe… it stated 15 teaspoon of brown mustard seeds…is that right…
I’ve heard that it can make the food bitter…. just checking.
Other than that it look delicious.
Thanks
Josephine
green evi says
Hi Josephine,
No, it’s 1.5 as one and a half…maybe the dot is hard to see?
I really hope you didn’t use 15 teaspoons, it would make the chutney indeed super bitter 😉
Jeanette says
What type of vinegar do you use?
green evi says
Hi Jeanette,
I’ve tried this recipe using apple cider, white wine and basic white distilled vinegar as well, they all work. So you can use whatever you have at home 🙂
