During the fall and winter, I love to make different kinds of chutney to give as hostess gifts. Cook this chutney in a slow cooker, and you don't have to fuss with it until you are ready to serve it. —Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada


Test Kitchen tips
  • It's unusual to cook something uncovered in the slow cooker, but it is essential for this chutney. Keeping the cover off allows the liquid to evaporate during cooking.
  • Try Tomato Apple Chutney as a spread on top of softened cream cheese. Serve with crackers.
  • Peppers (Hot)

    Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
