I made this cheese ball for Christmas Eve using Stonewall Kitchen's Major Grey's chutney and we LOVED it. I made it with the brand noted in the recipe for New Years Eve and threw it out. There is no way to tell you the difference except to say "Try it." We love this recipe, but use the much higher quality Stonewall Kitchen's chutney.
