Chutney
English-style chutney
Chutney originated in India, but the British adopted it long ago. It is a condiment made from fruits or vegetables cooked slowly with vinegar, sugar, and spices until they become candied.
The most popular in England is caramelized onion chutney . It goes well with cheddar cheese, pâté, ham, and leftover roast meat. It's also used in cheese sandwiches, with a ploughman's lunch, or on a cheese board at Christmas. Branston , Baxters , and Co-op each have their own. Baxters and Co-op also make a tomato chutney, with the Co-op version seasoned with chili pepper.
The curry house chutney
In British Indian restaurants, poppadoms always arrive with a platter of chutneys, and the mango one is the first to be dipped. Geeta's and Sharwood's offer it in mild or spicy versions. Geeta's also offers a lime and chili chutney, which is spicier.
And the redcurrant jelly
It's not a chutney, but it's served in the same way. Baxters redcurrant jelly is traditionally served with roast lamb and game, and it can also enrich a gravy.

What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
