With one exception I did follow your recipe, but I did cut the amount of curry powder back by almost half! For the 1st ingredient listed, I used a mix of dried peaches, pears & Fuji apple chunks, then went on from there & ended up with a wonderfully tasty chutney! Made up 4 containers & froze 3 of them for later use! This is definitely a keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement tag]
