Peach Chutney

This spicy and sweet chutney goes great with pork, chicken, cheese, and even fish! Peaches are ideal, but nectarines or a combination with apricots would work as well. This is a fairly mild and not too sweet recipe, but can be easily adjusted to make it more spicy, garlicky, or sweet, however you prefer.

Note: You can choose to blanch and peel them first if you want, but the skins add a great flavor… plus, it’s super easy to halve, pit, and chop with this chopper to make quick work of your huge bounty!
