Wobbling Jul 2017 6:26pm, 11 Jul 2017 5,175 posts	Quote Pin Wobbling Oranj - chutney is way more than fancy jam. Jam is basically fruit, sugar, acid and setting agent. Chutney is sugar, vinegar, fruit & veg, no setting agent. And chutney needs 6 weeks to mature once it's made but jam is ready pretty much once it's cooled. And sweet and savoury together is disgusting and makes my mouth cry. The Yorkshire habit of serving fruit cake (yum) with cheese (yum yum) is abhorrent.
