Blueberry, Fig Chutney

Tagged with:

A chunky sweet and tart condiment/spread made with blueberries, figs, and cranberries. Spiced with onions, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and rosemary. Chutneys are traditionally served with curried foods, but do try this on ham, chicken, roast pork, wild game or your Thanksgiving turkey. Also nice on meat and cheese platters. Mix some chutney with cream cheese for a nice spread on crackers. Mix with some oil for a quick marinade or glaze meats at the end of cooking. -- posted by ~Rita~ ...

We were given a ton of sweet potatoes from some generous friends who were growing them, and so I was trying to find good sweet potato recipes ... Anyways, I made this, and I significantly deviated from the original recipe, and I wanted to document what I did so I could make it again ... This seems sort of like a winter recipe except the fresh basil - which can't be left out, this makes dish - makes it ok for summer (at least to me). -- posted by larchie ...

This makes a very flavorfull grilled chicken ... Because it has the liquid smoke in it, the chicken can also be baked and still have a smoky flavor ... I use this for grilled fajitas or grilled chicken soft tacos. -- posted by Amber 505 ...

There are some good videos out there on this technique.I like this over black bean burgers. It's also perfect on grilled fish or chicken. -- posted by Billy Zac ...

Published Aug. 11, 2010 at 2:35 p.m.

Recently I broke my glass rangetop and was unable to use my stove while I waited for the delivery of a new one, so I turned to an old friend I hadn't used in a while: my crock pot. This is one of the old recipes I dug out to use in it. Just as good as I remembered! I'm going to start using my crock pot more often again.Note: My crock pot's one of the larger ones, with a greater surface area at the bottom. Not sure how well this would work in your standard-sized slow cooker. Also, without my
