Love the unsweetened tartness. Great with all manner of Thanksgiving fare. Yes please, I'd like some more.

It's a delicious and sophisticated alternative to the same old same old cranberry sauce. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Te spice level is low enough not to overwhelm while still adding a little zing. I'll definitely be making this for Thanksgiving this year.

The ginger made this chutney stand out from the other cranberry chutneys I've tried. It was a perfect balance of sweet, spice and tart, and might have become my new go-to chutney.

Its a very horrible combination of food. None of the foods match. I can't imagine the taste of such of a disgusting mixture. Each of the foods has an individual taste and mixing those is going to kill all the tastes.
