Method

Combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons of the water in a saucepan. Cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Cook without stirring until the sugar begins to caramelize around the edges.
Remove from the heat and add the pineapple, onion, chilli, vinegar and remaining water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chutney is jamlike.
Stir in the mint and serve warm or at room temperature. The chutney will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.
