Skip the curry powder and substitute the cloves with allspice. Increase spice powder - 2 pinches instead of one.

Excellent base recipe. I was out of oranges so I juiced half a lemon with some white grape juice. I hit it with ghost pepper which took it from bland to aggressive.

This is a wonderful condiment, and it can be processed in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. I know ours will be enjoyed long after the autumn weather has gone.

Made this a few times now and the only,y change I made was to add a large pinch of clove powder instead of a regular pinch. Delicious! Served it with my Christmas ham. Delicious!

I adore less sweet chutney and my neighbor's apples. For apple chutney, I zest (onto wax paper) and juice one lemon, toss the chopped apples in the lemon juice, then add the zest in Step 4. I cannot stop making/eating this.
