This kumquat date and ginger chutney is sweet and tangy and a perfect addition to your cheese board.
Now this exotic chutney totally rocks my world. Joey brought home some beautiful organic
kumquats and I was quick to search for the perfect recipe. I wanted something warm and intriguing with floral flavors. I wasn't in the mood to bake and I really wanted these little tart jewels to pop and show everyone what they're made of. Chutney seemed like the perfect option. Accompanied with warm ginger and sweet dates, this chutney pairs perfectly with a salty slice of good parmigiano reggiano.
Method:
1) Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and add ¼ c of water. Lightly mix everything together.
