My neighbor gave me some beautiful persimmons last week and for the life of me I couldn’t make up my mind what to make with them until today. This morning I came up with this tangy chutney of persimmons, golden raisin and cranberries with almonds. Thanksgiving has been on my mind so I thought this would make a great addition to the festive table and a great alternative to cranberry sauce for those that want their turkey with something different. This chutney would also be great with ham, pork, lamb, chicken or those delicious vegan roasts that are popular these days. Oh, I just thought that this would also be fabulous on a beautiful wheel of baked brie served alongside toasts or crackers as an appetizer to keep those back seat cooks out of the kitchen, you know who you are…that sauce does not need another cup of wine in it Sharon!
