Raisin Chutney
"We were out of store-bought chutney, I realized, after making an entire dinner of Indian food. I raided my cookbooks for ideas and came across this recipe. I was in luck: my kitchen always has these ingredients on hand! I couldn't find the cayenne pepper, so I ground black peppercorns instead. It's scrumptious and just too easy!"

This chutney tasted great. The flavours of raisin combined with lime and cayenne pepper was exceptionall good. Tasted great with Mix dal Dosas. Thank you ! -
Anyone who knows me knows I really enjoy chutney, & this one is no exception, because I love raisins, too! This chutney went together so quickly & TASTES GREAT! I did use black pepper instead of cayenne, but other than that, the ingredient list was followed! Another time I might double the batch but process only half of the raisins in the blender, leaving the rest as whole raisins! Your recipe is a definite winner & a real keeper!

I'm delighted with this recipe! My only change was to replace cayenne with a red pepper garlic mixture,and becaue I'd added extra heat (more than the cayenne) I added touch of sugar. Great results! So tasty and successful, I made another batch to can, trusting salt and lemon for preservation. Result was as good (maybe better)than "fresh". Thanks, seebee! -
This is awesome! This is the first time, I think, that I made chutney out of raisins! I found this to be so easy to put together and this was ready in minutes! BTW, I did use fresh ground black pepper as I don't have cayenne pepper on hand. This chutney tastes wonderful with Curried Chickpeas & Potatoes (recipe number: 46902). I gave one bowl of this away as a gift too, today! I'll be making this again, very soon. Thanks so much for sharing such a nice hassle-free tasty recipe.

I'm an "ovo-vegan" and while some may find that restrictive, believe me, I don't miss out on yummy food! I often would rather stay home and whip up something from whatever I have on hand than go out to restaurants.
I'm a student at a community college (although I may return to Columbia next year...I know, big difference!). I'm taking an environmental science course right now, which has seriously effected the way I view our world. Eating organically grown foods has suddenly become a priority for me!
If you want to do your part for our world, remember this: have NO MORE THAN TWO CHILDREN. I know, your first thought in response to that is "But ME in (America or other economically sound, technologically advanced, and highly educated country) in my station in society having kids isn't the problem. MY children would (educated, spiritual, kind-hearted, beautiful...fill in your adjective here) and would be part of the solution to the problems!"
Well, yes, but it's really not fair to your anyone, that child included. Every person you bring into the world will require an American/Western lifestyle, meaning drive cars, live in a comfortable home, require a job, use water...all of which taxes our earth's resources to a ridiculous extent. (A whole lot more so than developing nations, who have their own set of woes--mainly living the way they are because someone else is restricting them to benefit people like us) People, we're growing in numbers so fast and demanding more and more of our world, we're going to crash. If not in the lifetime of your children or grandchildren, then in the generation after that. Is that fair to that/those children you have, ahem, more than two? With everyone having two kids only, at least we'll level off our population.
Sigh.
Okay, so do the right thing, avoid mass-agriculture if you can while you cook, and enjoy our priveledged life without being selfish. :-)
