Ask a question about this stepMy second date with my husband was topping and tailing gooseberries! Perhaps we suggest this type of activity to match.com!
Just made this - doubled - it is out of this world! I added dried apricots plus the dried cherries. So happy to have a jar for the fridge that I can dig into now - canned the rest for later. Thumbs up!
at which stage did you can the rest and for how long?
for "good cooking" I canned it right away, just put the leftovers (ran out of sterile jars) aside in the fridge.
I love the family/friend stories almost as much as the great recipes folks post - thanks for both! I was hoping for a cherry chutney recipe and you didn't disappoint me!
I'm making this over the weekend - love the combo of cherries and apricots - going with the dried cherries, I think. Thumbs up!
I second that, your recipe looks and sounds delicious. LOVE the story...Cheers to almost 28 years!
Looks delicious, and I love the story!
I'm processing jars of this as I type. The chutney is delicious. I couldn't find apricots so I used nectarines (all that I could find) and instead of the raisins used half dried cherries and half dried apricots. It is really fantastic; already thinking of all the ways to enjoy it. I doubled the recipe and ended up with 8 half pint jars plus a little ramekin full for the fridge. Thanks for the recipe and I love the story behind it.
