Fig Rhubarb Rum Chutney Recipe

I came across this recipe during one of my trips to Scotland. I was meandering the streets of Edinburg exploring shops and second-hand stores when I discovered a cookbook about modern ways with traditional recipes. I modified the recipe to fit flavors and ingredients that are more readily found in the United States.

Fig Rhubarb Rum Chutney

This recipe stems from a Scottish chutney recipe I collected during my travels. The deep fig flavor mixed with cloves, citrus, dates, and rhubarb makes this a fabulous chutney recipe perfect with pork chops, ham, or chicken. Easy to make and easy to modify.

2 tsp Garlic
½ Cup Spiced Rum (Optional)
¼ Cups Raisin or Cranraisins (Optional)

Chutney recipes in general are one of the easiest recipes to make. You can make substitutions or tweak ingredients to create a unique flavor for a particular dish or for a specific holiday meal.

This chutney recipe is delishous as a condiment with pork chops, chicken, or a thick slice of ham.
