Thanks Crystalia, Haven't made this chutney for a couple of years but pulled it out of my recipe box the other day and plan on getting a jump start on small xmas gifts for all my neighbors. Recipe came from my sister in law many years ago, she lives in Colorado.
I live in California and most people hear have never heard of chutney. I realy like serving it with my Christmas ham, again thanks
