Finely chop the red onion and sauté it in olive oil over medium heat until it is soft and golden brown.
Deglaze with the sherry vinegar and the crème de cassis and let it reduce briefly.
In the meantime, cut the red beets into fine brunoise (small cubes).
Add the red beets, raspberries, and honey and thyme to the pan. Season with pepper and salt.
Let the mixture simmer gently over low heat for about 15 minutes, until the chutney has thickened nicely. Stir occasionally.
Spoon the chutney into sterilized jars, seal them, and let cool completely.
Tips
- Delicious with an autumn cheese platter, pâté, or game dishes.
- For an extra spicy touch, you can let some star anise or a cinnamon stick simmer along.
- Store your jars of chutney in a cool, dark place.
