One of fall's most bountiful fruits are plums, a prolific fruit that seems to ripen all at once. Plum jam may be the most common way to make the most of the fruit before it over-ripens, but chutney is another way to make good use of the harvest. Traditional plum chutney is so easy to make and for the time given, will reward you with a wonderful side to meats, cheeses, on sandwiches and particularly delicious on a christmas ham or a fun twist on traditional cranberry sauce with the turkey come thanksgiving. Once made, the chutney will keep for up to one year, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy it.
