This was great. I used fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped. I have one kid who will only eat tomatoes if they are ketchup and I told him this was everything that was in ketchup, just chunky. He ate some and said it tasted like tomato jam. I loved it. It was cooking the whole time I was making dinner and smelled terrific.

We were wowed by this simple chutney. My family yelled "5 stars" at first bite. I added more raisins as I had lots on hand, but otherwise followed the recipe. It smells divine cooking , thickens beautifully, and tastes wonderful. I only wish I had a bigger batch. This is not overly spicy hot. Next time I might add a bit more heat depending on it's planned accompaniment. A definite star recipe on the Culinary Quest 4.
