Stocking up my chutney stores! I have a fair few jars now, i might chillour for a bit on my frantic preserving! I love it though, makes me feel all economical and somewhat "Victorian". I used almost all my jellies, jams and chutneys over Christmas as gifts. Homemade preserves, or homemade flavoured spirits (i have made blackberry vodka, raspberry vodka, elderberry vodka, blackberry brandy, etc.) make the best gifts, in my opinion. Because it shows you have put some effort and thought into it, and it's fairly economical as well. This chutney is really nice with smoked cheese, like applewood cheddar....mmm.... have you ever tried that? It's UBER tasty. Reminds me of the countryside, and autumn bonfires, lol!
