I first made this recipe for Thanksgiving about 4 years ago, long before I ever seriously considered becoming vegan. Now I am a vegetarian, striving toward being a vegan, and I am looking forward to making this terrific chutney again this year, along with several of the other recipes on this site. Thank you for a great recipe...I think it is my very favorite holiday recipe!
Judy Garnar-Wortzel says
This is my families hand downs favorite, my one son waits all year for this and eats by the spoon if we don't watch him. We have been making this recipe for over ten years and love it with Lentil Loaf!! thank you!

Astrid Lee says
Sounds yummy, but we're diabetic. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Nava says
Astrid, would you be able to use liquid stevia in place of the agave or maple syrup? I'm not sure how that goes with a diabetic regimen; a little goes a long way.
