Spiced Apple Chutney from Michelle Miller

Finally...here's the recipe for Michelle Miller's Spiced Apple Chutney. It's the perfect accompaniment to my Sea Salt Lamb Lollipops! It's amazing! Spicy with a hint of sweet. I can't wait to make a batch of my own. Thanks, Michelle!

I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
