[French Tart]

A really nice chutney - totally different to the ones I make normally, but VERY colourful and with a nice tart flavour. I added walnuts instead of pecans, as I had so few pecans left - and the cranberries were a precious bag left over from Christmas/New Year! Made it 2 weeks ago and allowed it to mature slightly in the fridge. Ate it with cold ham and cheese - very tasty indeed. Made for Aussie/Kiwi recipe swap - another great recipe from Syd's kitchen!
