This tomato chutney is to.die.for.

It’s packed with an amazing combination of holiday flavors and is a great addition to many different types of meals – from beef roast to brie.

It also makes for a fantastic gift for the holidays that will wow your family, friends or neighbors! You can mix up a big batch and then add to jars and it will keep for a few weeks in the fridge.

I’ve enjoyed it with beef roast, over shredded chicken, inside a grilled cheese sandwich

This is basically my new holiday food obsession 😉

This chutney is made with whole, peeled tomatoes…you chop them up and simmer for an hour with these other flavors and the result is a show stopping chutney (that’s frugal too!). When prepping this, I took my kitchen sheers to the tomatoes while they were still in the can. I drained the can into the saucepan, and then snipped all the whole, peeled tomatoes into smaller pieces before adding them into the saucepan. This helped keep from making a mess on my cutting board and counter 😉

Give this chutney a try…I predict it might be your new holiday food obsession too!?!
