Jalapeno Chutney (Famous Dave's Sweet Soul Jalapeno Copycat)

Submitted by Andi the grate

"I have moved a few hundred miles away from the nearest 'Famous Dave's BBQ'. At the persistance of my boyfriend, I had to come up with something similar to their ' Sweet Soul Jalapeño dipping sauce'. Here's what I came up with. Seeing as though all I had to go on was memory, I don't know if it's really close or not. Nor will I be able to taste some of the real stuff any time soon for comparison... but this is gooooood. Please feel free to z-mail me with any suggestions on how to make it more accurate."

This is nothing like FD's sauce that is served with the Sweetwater Catfish. I went to FD's and took a side of sauce home with me to compare it to this recipe. FD's sauce has very little to barely any pieces of food in it. There is ginger in it too. With this recipe it's super chunky because of the Pineapple. The taste on this recipe is good but the texture is way off. Kudus to the author for trying, they came up with a tasty sauce just nothing like FD's.

I live near a famous daves and went there just for that sauce, but the quit having it. the only real discrepancy. I saw with this recipe was I think it's. missing fresh ginger. I also doubled the spices and omitted the sugar. may be better than famous daves
