We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
Chutney is a condiment with South Asian roots that arrived in England and France sometime in the early 1600s. Chutneys are a savory side meant to balance a dish and can be either sweet and tart or spicy and hot. They provide a nice accompaniment to meats, fish, cheese and vegetables. Rebecca Williamson who founded Holmsted Fines based her recipes on English chutneys.
Holmsted Fines chutney is available in four varieties.
Apple Jalapeno – has 15 calories in two tablespoons and 40 milligrams of sodium. It has a sweet flavor with a mild kick that glows into a hearty afterbite. The apples and jalapenos are paired with apple cider vinegar, onions, sugar, ginger and cayenne pepper.
