Spicy Cherry and Apple Chutney

This chutney recipe is a slight adaptation of one originally from a fruit company's website. It combines canned dark sweet cherries with diced tart apple, simmered in a mixture of vinegar, brown sugar, and spices including ginger and garlic. An optional pinch of crushed red chilli adds a gentle heat. The mixture cooks down until nicely thickened, resulting in about one cup of chutney that can be served either warm or chilled alongside various meats.
