Apple Raisin Chutney Recipe

There are so many delicious comfort and slow-cooked foods, like this Apple Raisin Chutney Recipe. It’s a wonderful addition to your autumn table, with so many ways to enjoy it. You may love it served with chicken, like this Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables, or with this Roasted Balsamic Whole Chicken Recipe.

Often the slower you cook food, the better it tastes. When Abby made this chutney, we saved some for a pork recipe, and serve the rest with this fabulous appetizer!

I just love chutney with goat cheese, don’t you?

I just love the traditions and tastes of the season of fall, going in to winter. And this Apple, Cinnamon, and Raisin Chutney is absolutely wonderful. Oh, and replace the traditional “cranberry sauce” on this board, for this amazing recipe! Also try Mango Chutney with Jalapeños!

What is apple chutney?

Apple chutney is a savory, chunky sauce made from apples, brown sugar, vinegar, and an abundance of herbs and spices. Its sweet and savory flavors complement meat dishes, such as chicken, pork chops, and ham. It’s delicious served as an appetizer with goat cheese!

How long does homemade apple chutney last?

Canned chutneys and pickles have a shelf life of up to two years. Once opened, store in the fridge and use within four weeks.

Can you freeze apple chutney?

Yes! We freeze chutney in a freezer bag (press out as much air as possible while sealing it). The chutney will keep for up to 6 months.

How do I use apple chutney?

Here are more ways to serve chutney:

• Delicious on a sandwich.
• Scrumptious on a cheese board or charcuterie board.
• Mix it into ground beef for meatloaf or sausage roll filling.
• Serve as a side with any meat, like pork or chicken.

How to serve chutney

We had friends over for clam chowder the other night, and served this wonderful treat, with goat cheese, crackers, dates, and pistachios.

You know it’s good when the entire plate is gone!
