A chutney is a savory relish made from spices, herbs, vegetable and fruit. It is typically used as an accompaniment to meat or fish dishes, but it can also be served alongside cheese or on top of rice. There are countless types of chutneys, each with their own specific flavor profiles based on region and seasonings.

This recipe takes some time to make, but it’s well worth the effort and will give you plenty of chutney to give away or to keep on hand in your fridge over the holiday season and beyond.
