Cherry Chutney image

I live in the Columbia River Gorge. So many cherries are produced in a very short period, that during cherry harvest, farmers sell pounds of the stuff. I created a savory recipe because there's only so much cherry pie and ice cream one man can eat!

This chutney is a great way to use up leftover cherries. It's also a nice change from the usual apple or pear chutney.

This chutney is easy to make and it tastes great. I love the combination of sweet and sour. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

I'm not a big fan of chutney, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and versatile. I've been using it on everything from chicken to fish to cheese. It's also great as a dipping sauce for appetizers.

This cherry chutney is amazing! I made it for a party last weekend and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the sweet and tangy flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
