As I mentioned in my last post, I had an abundance of apples that were beyond their best before date for a crisp snack, but still had a lot sweet apple goodness to boast.

So after making apple muffins, which only called for two apples, I opted to make some Apple Chutney and I found a great recipe on AllRecipes.com.

This delicious recipe called for a few ingredients I didn’t have so I made a few subsitutions, MOST of which worked exactly like I expected.

I used white vinegar instead of cider vinegar, California instead of golden raisins, and yellow mustard instead of ground mustard, all in the exact same amounts.

I also used cayenne powder instead of curry powder, also in the same amount, and I think I got a little more heat than I bargained for.

It was still delicious with some oven baked pork chops, and I even liked the extra kick at the end of each bite, but I think next time I’ll stick to curry powder or cut waaaaay back on the cayenne.
