That sounds good. I actually have a pint of sweet tomato chutney that
I've been trying to use too. Maybe I'll try them together. The apple
won't make it any sweeter, and the onion and vinegar won't make it
much more zippy. Chutney definitely doesn't work as a substitute for
jelly in a peanut butter & jelly sandwich.
