Ingredients
- 3 large peaches (peeled and finely cubed)
- 1 small shallot (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar (45ml)
- 4 tablespoons orange juice (60ml)
- 1/3 cup white sugar (70g)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of ground vanilla (or seeds from 1/2 pod)

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients—peeled peaches, chopped shallot, white wine vinegar, orange juice, white sugar, ground turmeric, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice—into a small pot.
- Boil and Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chutney thickens and achieves a creamy consistency.

- Peeling the peaches helps achieve a smoother texture in the chutney.
- Adjust the sugar quantity based on the sweetness of the peaches and your taste preference.
- The chutney can be stored for up to two days in the fridge; for longer storage, consider canning or freezing.
- Use this chutney as a condiment with roasted meats, cheeses, or as a flavorful spread in sandwiches.
- Ground vanilla can be substituted with vanilla extract if preferred.
