This chutney is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoy it. I just use a little bit at a time.

I love this chutney! It's so versatile and can be used in so many different ways. I've used it as a glaze for chicken, a spread for sandwiches, and even a topping for ice cream.

I'm not a big fan of chutney, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and has a nice balance of flavors.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chutney turned out too runny. I think I'll cook it for a little longer next time.

This chutney is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think I'll try adding some tart cranberries next time.

This chutney is a great way to use up leftover apples and pears. It's also a nice change from the traditional cranberry chutney.
