Plum Chutney! Ripe plums blended together with beets, red onion & rhubarb makes rustic yummy chutney with a sweet & spicy kick to it. My Sunday Supper team is doing a farmer’s market, local produce theme and I decided to make my plum chutney. Every time I visit a farmer’s market I always check out their bottled jar section and walk away with a few jars of some exotic jam or chutney. This plum chutney is one of those recipes that were born out of necessity. I needed chutney and spied 6 fresh plums, 2 beets and some rhubarb so I decided to just cook everything together and see how it turned out. It was delish! The sweetness of the plums and beets mixed with the slightly tart rhubarb and red onion created lovely plum chutney. Being a borderline diabetic, I prefer chutneys to jams because they are less sweet and give you the feeling of indulging without the sugar. This plum chutney tastes great smothered over a piece of pork or even spread over my almond crackers! It looked so beautiful too…. All red and chunky with the sweet scent of cardamom.
