Spicy Cherry Chutney: Preserve Summer Fruit

Spicy Cherry Chutney is a sweet and tangy condiment with a little kick.

Some people might face the dilemma of having too many cherries at once and not being able to eat them all before they go bad. I would like to know these people so I can take a few dozen pounds off their hands. I love fresh summer cherries.

But this Spicy Cherry Chutney is delicious too, and it is a great way to preserve all of those beautiful red beauties to enjoy the rest of the year as well.

This pairs beautifully with any kind of pork or it can be used as a spread on sandwiches, crostini or crackers, or along side your favorite curry (here's an easy 30 minute recipe). Serve it along side a cheese tray or spread it on a block of cream cheese with crackers for a quick appetizer.
