Ginger & Tomato Chutney

Melanie B.'s Note:

This is a nice little recipe that I happened upon kind of by accident..its a long story...but it tastes great with basic grilled steak and chicken in the summer time. You can even substitute the canned tomatoes with heirlooms if you add a little extra juice.
