I like this slightly milder version of chutney, which can accompany a variety of savory biscuits, muffins, scones, crackers, or cookies.

Sir all the ingredients together in a large, heavy-gauge, wide-bottomed saucepan. Cover with a lid and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to medium and cook for 1 hour. During the cooking process, stir occasionally and check to see that the liquid has not evaporated completely. Add a little water if the mixture looks completely dry. Remove the chutney from the pan and let cool at room temperature. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Note:
Store wrapped airtight in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The chutney will become more flavorful as it sits.
