To me, a chutney is a fresh condiment that makes any meal sing. Most chutneys in India are freshly prepared, ready in minutes and still pack a punch, so I was surprised to find that in Britain chutneys are made to have a long shelf life, and contain vinegar and sugar to preserve their fresh ingredients. Here I am sharing a wider variety, with a bit of sweet, sour and spicy; they’ll be great for your festive table or jarred up as little gifts.
