Peach and Cinnamon Chutney
I will make chutney from any fruits I can get my hands on. Fact. Whether it’s ripe, unripe, something I love or something I’m not too keen on, turning it in to chutney is guaranteed to make it better. There’s something about seasonal peaches bubbling away in their own syrupy goodness that...
