Think of it as a sweet-tangy, spoonable sauce that lands somewhere between a jam and a relish. Funny enough, every time someone says &#8220;chutney,&#8221; there&#8217;s always that one person who asks, \u201cIs it a sauce? A spread? A side?\u201d The answer is YES\u2014it&#8217;s all three!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legend has it that chutney exists because someone wanted something sweet, spicy, and totally irresistible to go with their meal\u2026 and honestly, who can blame them?
