These types of fruit chutneys are some of the most flavorful things you�ll ever taste, and perfect condiments for those special occasion holiday dinners. If you like applesauce, you�ll find this a fairly familiar experience, and despite the ingredient list, nothing really overpowers the fruit.
You don�t really taste shallots or garlic, and everything works to amplify the appleness. The salt, spice, and vinegar makes this a savory condiment to be sure, yet it still works in pretty much every situation regular applesauce would, except maybe as baby food. Although?
Anyway, like I said in the video, you may have to call this �applesauce,� and make it when no one�s around, but one taste and I�m sure you�ll agree the ends justify the means. I hope you give this great apple chutney a try soon. Enjoy!
