Even though it’s late in the summer my friend still has rhubarb growing in her garden.ย ย  She brought me another bag this week.ย ย  When looking for something to make with it, I came across a recipe for apple rhubarb chutney.ย  Apples are totally in season right now and I thought this would be a fun fall chutney.

Apple Rhubarb Chutney

This is a pretty easy chutney to make.ย ย  The rhubarb gets diced, the apples peeled and diced, and dried cranberries are added.ย ย  There’s also a lot of spice which is great for fall.ย ย  When it’s made it’s sweet, a little tart, and a whole lot delicious.

I ate most of the jar I had on either crackers or toast in the morning.ย ย  It’s a great substitute for apple butter and has a chunky texture and more flavor.ย  The color is brownish, but it’s studded with the jeweled red cranberries and flecks of the red and green rhubarb.ย  This is going to be a great giftย  to give at Christmas time!
