I was going to cut back on this recipe, but then decided that I'd share it with several very happy friends ~ Everyone thought this was one of the best chutneys they'd had, & of course I particularly liked the combo of fruits uded! I'll definitely be making this one again & again, & intend to add small jars of it to my winter holiday gift baskets! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
