This morning, we did a trial version of our very own fig chutney. We didn’t want to make a large amount yet, for we had to make sure the result was good. Well, it is more than good. This chutney is absolutely delicious! So we’ll make more of it soon (since we have about 3 kg of ripe figs). But here’s the recipe for you, in case you have figs and want to try this.
