Chutney Recipe, Simple and Versatile !!!!

I have been a bit pre-occupied so here is a simple Chutney recipe that goes with just about anything. First check out the recipe for Orange Sauce in my previous post, you will be using this as the base for this recipe but will need to add a few things, here it is................

1 cup sliced pears ( I like Asian)
1 cup granny smith apples (med dice)
1/2 cup sliced mango
1/2 cup dried apricots
1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups orange sauce
1 cup water
1/4 balsamic vinegar

In a deep sauce pan first saute all the fruit and spices in a teaspoon of olive oil just until the fruits begin to sweat and become soft, then carefully add all the liquid, bring to boil, cover and reduce to simmer for about 20 min or until all the liquid has reduced to syrup like consistency, that is it, This can be served at room temp or heated up. As I said before and will say again my recipes are base recipes, use your imagination and add some of your own ideas to create something special you can call your own.
This time of the year I always take a little trip inside, kind of a personal inventory of things past. It only takes a few minutes to see the truth of an entire lifetime to the point of our present state of being. With Christmas only five days away, be safe in all your travels as I found the other night there are allot of in a hurry crazies out there.
