This unique chutney is perfect for freshening up a tired cheese plate, glazing roasted pork or chicken, or as a sandwich smear. If you’re a little daring in the kitchen, add orange juice and a bit more olive oil and vinegar to make a dressing for steamed vegetables or a chilled salad. Store in the refrigerator for one week or freeze.
