If you haven't tried chutneys before, you are missing a world of flavor. There are dozens of ways to use a chutney beyond the basic condiment. Pear chutney is probably the most requested chutney among family and friends who come to my house. One jar is just not enough.

"The term chutney comes from the East Indian chatni, meaning "strongly spiced." Chutneys have a fruit base, but many non-sweet vegetables can also be used. Once you get the basic concept down, you can experiment with any number of fruits or vegetables.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of possible combinations to make this tasty condiment. The most common flavors in chutney are ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, raisin, mango, tamarind, citrus fruit, apricot, peach, coriander, mint, onion, and garlic. But those aren't the only options; there are plenty of innovative takes on chutney that use pineapple, coconut, rose hips, pumpkin, quince, plums, or carrots.
Chutney is a condiment of chopped fruits, vinegar, spices, and sugar cooked into a chunky spread. Although it is best known as originating in India, chutney is famous worldwide, often transformed to suit local tastes. While most chutneys are on the spicy side, it's easy to adjust the heat factor if you make it at home. Chutney is excellent with many types of meat, delicious as a spread or fruit dip, and adds a fantastic spice when used as an ingredient in recipes.
The sweet, tart, and spicy flavor of chutney complements strong-flavored meats such as wild game but also works well with beef, pork, and chicken. Chutney perks up cheeses, and sweeter versions make a fabulous spread on crackers, toast, or bagels."
"Chutney With Indian-Style Curries
First, the classic suggestion for purists is to simply spoon some chutney straight out of the jar and serve it alongside any curry recipe. That's what it was designed to complement.
The Party Spread
Chutney combined with cream cheese makes for a yummy appetizer dip. There are two ways to serve it:
Place a block of cream cheese on a plate and spoon the chutney of your choice over it. Serve with crackers and a small spreading knife.
Pulse the cream cheese and chutney together in a food processor or blender. If it seems too thick, add a splash of milk.
The Sandwich Booster
Mix equal parts chutney and mayonnaise together. Spread on bread and add the main sandwich ingredient of your choice. Chutney goes especially well with ham and with cheese.
Grilled Cheese With a Twist
You can make this combination on crackers as an hors-d'oeuvre. Spread a layer of chutney on crackers. Top with thin slices of cheese. A tangy cheese such as cheddar is a good choice. Broil the sandwich or crackers just until the cheese melts and starts to bubble. Serve hot.
Paired With Lamb and Game Meats
Chutney pairs beautifully with the rich flavors of venison and lamb as well as duck and other richly-flavored meats. Just serve a little on the side of the roasted meat or poultry or, if you prefer, spread a little of the chutney over the meat just before serving.
Tempura Dipping Sauce
Combine a tablespoon of chutney with 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon mirin or other sweet white wine, and 1/4 cup chicken, fish or vegetable stock. Serve hot with tempura. You can either just mix the ingredients and heat them in a small saucepan for a slightly chunky sauce, or first puree the ingredients in a blender before heating them.
Almost Instant Homemade Ketchup
If you compare the ingredients of ketchup to chutney you'll notice that they have a lot in common: vinegar, sugar, spices, and fruit or veggies (you may be surprised to know that ketchup doesn't have to be made out of tomatoes). In fact, the only difference is that chutney is chunky and ketchup is smooth. So go ahead and puree your green tomato chutney, for example, and now you've got green tomato ketchup."
