You'll Want to Spread This Tomato-Ginger Chutney on Everything ... And You Should!

Everyday Food

Here's a reason to celebrate: It's peak tomato season! Today, we're preparing a tomato-ginger chutney that's fresh, sharp, and wonderfully sweet (golden raisins and red wine vinegar add an extra kick of flavor). After cooking it for 35 to 40 minutes, you'll have a spoonable sauce that's as thick as jam -- and it's as delicious, too! Stored in a jar and chilled, this outrageous topping will last up to a week in your fridge.
