Great recipe. I needed chutney in a hurry. I added diced onions and raisins to the mix and used canned pineapple tidbits (20 oz can). I drained the juice before adding. I didn't have a jalapeno pepper on hand so I used 1 tsp. crushed red pepper. The chutney came out perfectly.

After purchasing three bad pineapples in a row, I decided to go with canned pineapple chunks ~ Will do this up again in a month or so with some nice fresh pineapple! Instead of the jalapeno, I used a milder green pepper, & still, this chutney was very tasty, & I was pleased with the results! Served it up with pork the first time around! It's great as a dip, too! Definitely a keeper! [Made & reviewed as a bonus tag in Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #14, Mar 08]
