Sweet roasted grapes meet jammy figs in this sophisticated chutney, rounded out by briny olives and a hint of chai spice. The balsamic edge cuts through richness perfectly, making it equally at home on a cheese board or alongside roasted meats.

Ingredients

4 servings

12 cups stemmed seedless red grapes
12 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
11 orange
13 garlic cloves, minced
12 cups water
12 black tea chai tea bags
11 pound dried Calimyrna figs, stemmed, quartered
112 pitted large black olives, quartered
112 pitted large green olives (such as Cerignola), cut into strips (about 1 cup)
12 green onions, thinly sliced
12 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
11/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
11/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place grapes on rimmed baking sheet. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Roast until shiny and plump, about 10 minutes; set aside.
Using vegetable peeler, remove peel (orange part only) from orange in long strips. Thinly slice strips lengthwise. Juice orange. Measure 1/3 cup (reserve leftover juice for another use). Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add 2 cups water and tea bags. Increase heat; bring to boil. Remove tea bags, squeezing to release liquid. Add figs to pan; cover. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until figs are soft, about 10 minutes. Uncover pan; boil until liquid is reduced almost to glaze and just covers bottom of pan, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Fold in grapes, juice, and peel. Ladle into jars. Cool. Cover; chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 month ahead; gently shake jars occasionally. Chill.
