This autumnal chutney complements griddled, roasted or bbq’d pork or chicken.  In fact any cooked leftover meat can be served in an open sandwich topped with a spoonful or two of the relish. The chutney is also delicious when spooned onto a thick slice of bread, topped with your favourite cheese and grilled for a few minutes
