Spiced Apple Chutney



Spiced Apple Chutney

Spicy apple chutney is a classic condiment- tart, sweet and spicy. Chutney is a versatile condiment that will come in handy when you have a guest or whenever you want to fix a quick appetizer or lunch. Pair it with cheese and cracker, and you have a quick appetizer. Spread it over toast or mix with mayo spread for a tasty sandwich or mix with sour cream as a unique dip-you can find a lot of creative uses with chutney. Chutney does not have a jam-like consistency but has a chunky texture.
 
 Chutney originated in India, and there are different versions of chutney served with snacks, breakfast, or lunch. But preserved chutneys are not typical of the chutneys served in India. This shows a colonial influence on local cuisine. Later chutney, made its way to England, France, Africa, and the Caribbean Islands, adapting regional flavors and cooking techniques. Chutney we are talking about here is a condiment of preserved fruits with sugar, vinegar, and spices.
 
 The sweet and sour flavor of chutney also works well with chicken, beef, or pork. Granny Smith or Rome apples are the best for this recipe. Try this delicious home-cooked chutney,you will surely love it.
