Instructions: Place all the ingredients except the nuts in a large saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. If desired, stir in the nuts. Ladle into hot sterilized jars, seal, and refrigerate.

Makes about 4 cups.

NOTES : Ideal for the holiday season, this ruby chutney with its intriguing Indian aroma complements roast turkey, pork loin, and duck. West Coast cookbook author Beth Hensperger adds a spoonful to a slice of pate or savory cheesecake.
