Ginger chutney
From Cookipedia
This recipe needs advance preparation!
I just love home-made dips, sauces and chutneys. They are usually pretty easy to make and ingredients list can be adjusted to suit your tastes.
I find that the flavour of the vinegar used affects the overall flavour quite drastically and like to test small amounts of different vinegars (and blends of) before I make the main batch.
