APPLE AND DRIED FRUIT CHUTNEY Makes about 2 cups chutney
This is a chutney that I have made for years. Although most traditional Indian cook-
books have a similar recipe, I adapted this from a recipe I got from Chef de Cuisine
Vincent Brunetto, who had a restaurant called The Campbell House near my home. He
served it for an appetizer in a chilled mound next to homemade pâté and fresh bread.
Cooking it on the stove always seemed to evaporate too much of the liquid, so using
the bread machine is a fine way to make this full-flavored, nicely textured chutney.
This chutney is very aromatic while it is cooking. I often use a six-ounce bag of pre-
chopped fruit bits—which has raisins, apricots, and dried peaches in it—to save time.
