This is a delicious, sweet-sour condiment that you could use anywhere you'd like a sweet chutney or relish. It seems made for sweet potatoes - great for dipping sweet potato fries, or with butter on top of the healthier baked version. It would wake up a veggie burger or turkey sandwich easily, and I might use this instead of cranberry sauce in the future. I used part sugar, part splenda which worked fine. Next time, I believe I would caramelize the onions completely before adding the rest of the ingredients, they were just a little more assertive than I'd like in the finish product.

This is very nice. Falls somewhere between a chutney and ketchup. We enjoyed it with our Christmas ham. Would also be very good with steak, pork tenderloin or pork burgers. One note, the ingredient list shows garlic but the directions state ginger. I used ginger instead of garlic. Also, this makes a ton so next time I will reduce by half. Made for PRMR.
