Pineapple Chutney Recipe

This delicious pineapple chutney recipe is perfect to serve with just about any grilled meat. Chutney may seem like a complex type of recipe, but it is very easy to make. You just cook together some fruit, spices, onions, and vinegar or lemon juice until the mixture thickens and boils. The resulting sweet, spicy, and savory sauce can be served with chicken, meat, or fish, or used as an appetizer spread, especially with soft cheeses such as brie, camembert, or cream cheese. Use it in curries, or crockpot recipes too. You can make this recipe with other fruits. Try pears, or peaches, or apples. Just peel the fruit and cut it into even pieces. Then continue with the recipe. You can make this chutney as mild or as spicy as you'd like. Add some crushed red pepper flakes, increase the amount of curry powder, or add minced jalapeos or habanero peppers. This chutney, like all chutneys, freezes well too. Let the chutney cool, then ladle into freezer containers in 1/2 or 1-cup portions. Label, seal, and freeze up to 3 months. To thaw, just let the chutney stand in the fridge overnight. You can reheat it before you serve it, but it's excellent cold.
