Sous Vide Peach Chutney
This chutney is a bit sweet, a bit spicy and a bit of a pickle…so many tastes I love. You could just as easily use pears, apples or plums as the fruit. Whatever you use will take on the brilliant golden color of the curry powder. I use this as an accompaniment to meats or as an addition to a platter of cold meats, pates and cheeses.
