Pineapple Chutney recipe is perfect for those pineapples, which look good and ripe on the outside, but the inside is sour and tangy. This 3 ingredient pineapple chutney is sweet with a hint of heat and pairs perfectly with a good toast.
About the Recipe
I love pineapples. However, I get frustrated when I find a good ripe-looking pineapple that is not so sweet. Of course, I would then trash the pineapple.
During one such occasion when I was expressing my frustration, my dear friend Madhavi gave me this recipe. Thanks to her I make this recipe every time I have this type of pineapple.
So whenever the pineapple is in season, I make this recipe and have it handy in my refrigerator.
This recipe is so easy, that you will be able to cook it with your eyes closed. I like to serve it on the side during lunch or dinner. However, I mostly prefer it over toast for breakfast.

Ingredients and Substitution Notes
Pineapple: For this recipe, I like to use fresh pineapples that are in season and not sweet. They are the perfect kind of pineapples.
Sugar: is a must for this recipe. This pineapple chutney is more like a preserve so you need sugar. You can use the amount of sugar I have mentioned or reduce it if you don’t like it too sweet.
Black Pepper: I use ground black pepper. Black pepper adds a hint of heat and flavor to this recipe.
Cooking Instructions for Pineapple Chutney
- Combine pineapple, sugar, and black pepper in a saucepan.
- Cook it on medium heat for around 35 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Allow it to cool. Pack it in an airtight container and refrigerate it.
Technically you can make this recipe from canned pineapples. However, I would recommend not to do that because canned pineapples are already sweet. For this recipe, you need pineapples that are tangy and less sweet.
Yes, you can adjust how much sugar you want to use as per your preference.
You can serve pineapple chutney for breakfast. It pairs well over toast. My kids like it on the side with dosa. I use a spoonful of it on the side with either my lunch or dinner.

Made this tonight. Halfway through I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out but at the end it was absolutely delicious. Just not sure what I’m going to pair it with?

This recipe looks great! I love pineapple and I love most chutneys. –I can’t wait to try it1
I haven’t heard of it/had it before, but it does sound delicious. I like the idea of a little kick w/the pepper.
This does seem like a simple and easy recipe that would be very tasty on quite a few things.I love pineapple so I will have to give this one a try.
Wow, only three ingredients? This seems like a great recipe to pass along to my mother because she is always trying recipes that do not call for many ingredients. Her latest was a pineapple cake that only called for three ingredients. I bet she would love this recipe too.
What an interesting recipe. My husband LOVES pineapple and I will have to try this recipe out on him some day soon.
Never heard of pineapple chutney but it looks delicious.
Now this is something I got to try, haha! Thanks for sharing.
My son loves pineapples and I really like this recipe because it is nice and fresh for the warm weather months.
I’ve never had pineapple chutney, it sounds eeasy enough to make. I think my brother would love it.
I have heard it’s very good. I love pineapples. I never use it fresh because it’s a pain in the butt to cut I always buy the can stuff as I usually just us it with cooking or for making smoothies.
I made this tonight and it tastes amazing. I used canned pineapple chunks and chopped them in small pieces, added the required amount of sugar as per the recipe, added a bit more pepper and 1/8 teaspoon od apple pie spice and pumpkin spice. It turned out so great. Will definitely make this again.
My husband would just love this. He loves chutney and pineapple!
That sounds really tasty, but I am not quite sure how you would eat it. Is it like an ice cream topping or would you eat it on its own as a side dish? Or Dessert?
