About

Both my ma and my ouma were always making chutneys. If there were extra apples or tomatoes, or a surplus of any other fruit, they would haul out the sugar and vinegar and start chopping up the fruit. There was always chutney in our home, the perfect condiment or the perfect snack with a bit of cheese or with some cold meat.
