This cool, sweet n spicy, immune-boosting chutney can be served over any seafood dish, added as a relish or side dish to any entrée, or simply enjoyed alone.  Many thanks to Amaçari for providing me with the purest camu-camu powder on the planet!! 

Ingredients:

• ½ cup sherry
• ¼ cup virgin honey
• ½ tsp finely ground Celtic sea salt
• ¾ cup diced organic cucumber (I peeled mine)
• ¾ cup diced organic cherry pepper (seeded and cored)
• ¾ cup diced organic fresh pineapple
• 1-2 tsp Amaçari camu-camu powder, depending on how “zingy” you like it

Instructions:

1. Place the sherry and 2 TBLS of the honey into a small sauce pan on medium-low. Allow to cook together until honey has dissolved.
2. Sprinkle the sea salt over the diced up cucumber and set aside.
3. Add the diced cherry pepper to the sherry and cook until the peppers have softened and most of the sherry has evaporated, 10 minutes or so. Stir occasionally.
4. Add the cucumbers and half of the pineapple to the pot and continue cooking until the 3 diced items have fused, 3-5 minutes.  Don't let it get mushy.
5. Add the remaining pineapple and honey to the pot. Cook for another 2 minutes, just until honey dissolves.
6. Remove from heat and allow to cool enough so that you can comfortably touch the mixture without burning your finger.
7. Add the camu powder and stir until it is all dissolved. Make sure you get any clumps mixed in.
8. Enjoy!
9. Store in refrigerator for up to one week.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 pints of organic strawberries
• 1 cup raw unheated honey
• 1 cup Amish maple syrup
• 1 large organic Meyers lemon, juice and zest (regular lemon also works)
• 2 tablespoons organic tapioca powder
• 1 tablespoon Amaçari powder
• ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons filtered water

Instructions:

1. Wash, hull, and halve the strawberries.
2. Zest and juice the lemon.
3. Place zest and juice into a large pot with the sweeteners.
4. Heat on low heat and stir until mixed, about 10 minutes.
5. Add the strawberries and cook on low heat. Bring to a very low boil, stirring occasionally.
6. Continue cooking on a very low boil for about 30 minutes.
7. Mix ¼ cup of filtered water with the tapioca starch in a small glass with a whisk or fork.
8. Pour into the pot and stir into the strawberries. This should thicken the strawberries immediately.
9. Once the strawberries have thickened, remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 30 minutes.
10. Mix the camu powder and 2 tablespoons of filtered water in a small glass with a whisk. This should form a paste.
