GUEST POST: Spiced apple chutney from Nutmeg Nanny

Hello Baked by Rachel readers! I’m Brandy and I blog over onĀ Nutmeg NannyĀ and I’m super excited to be here today.

I’m a huge fan of chutney and even though it’s not the most attractive food it’s great on top of meat dishes. It’s like a savory version of applesauce and it pairs beautifully with pork, chicken and even turkey. The recipe its self is pretty forgiving and can be customized to your liking. Don’t have fuji apples? Don’t worry, green apples will work too. Not a fan of dried cherries? Raisins, dates or even dried cranberries are excellent options.

Also, can I just say I’m a huge fan of the word chutney. It’s just so much fun to say – Chut-a-ney! Trust me, you want to make this. Not only is it delicious but you get a reason to go around and say chut-a-ney…why wouldn’t you want to do that?
