Balsamic vinegar and shallot chutney (alt)
One of our Canadian visitors sent me an email with an improved version of Balsamic vinegar and shallot chutney she made for her New Year's eve party. It looks so good I thought I would reproduce it here. thanks Jennifer.
The original recipe was used as a pizza topping on Gavin's balsamic onion pizza.
The original recipe made just enough to top two pizzas, this recipe makes enough for 1 jar of chutney.
