Cheater Chutney


My hubby came up with this quick method of making a nice dipping chutney. I have no idea about how chutney is traditionally made, but this ends up tasting like the real thing served at one of our favorite Indian restaurants.

Note on Proportions: Just start with a conservative amount of each ingredient and adjust to taste from there.

Ingredients:

  • apricot jam
  • soy sauce / tamari
  • rice vinegar
  • chili powder
  • water

Method:

Start with a few tablespoons of apricot jam in a bowl and add about half that amount in soy sauce. Add a very small amount of the rice vinegar (too much will ruin it, you can always add more), a decent amount chili powder (about 1/3 the volume of the apricot jam), and a small amount of water.

Using a fork, mix very thoroughly unitl there are as few as possible jam lumps.

Adjust to taste and enjoy!
