GOLD GREAT TASTE AWARD WINNER

Spiced Apricot
and Cranberry Chutney!

Open the top of this chutney and get a pop and a quick burst of flavorful whiff! 

Look down from the very top and you will see things that are not quite identifiable. Most likely apricots and cranberries.

If you look at the ingredients list on the side you will see there are many spices, flavors and stuff all put into this little jar. It looks exciting. Reading the ingredients makes it exciting!

The nose gets a tingle and a twitch.

Even if you want to savor the flavors as it enters your mouth you feel compelled to crunch. And there’s a lot of crunching going on. With the apricot providing most of the crunch, the finish of the biting is the skin of the cranberry.

There are lots of flavors involved here. There’s citrus, there’s brown sugar, there’s onions, garlic, ginger, and zest, coriander seeds and a hint of cayenne pepper. Not exactly spicy, it’s not exactly not.

It’s a good bunch of flavors mixed together and it’s quite delicious. I think it would pair well with a good hard cheese and a cracker or a very nice pork chop or pork medallions with a side of mashed potatoes. Grill, oven, or pan, this chutney will make a great first, second, or hundredth impression.

Even though this chutney is strong and assertive one could eat the whole jar with a spoon!
