California Chutney.... and Chutney Wraps

3 large red apples diced/ cored and skinned
2 pears diced / cored
10 diced and pitted - cherries or seedless grapes
3-4 tb chopped nuts (walnut) // -- 1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp white or black pepper // -- 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 onion finely chopped // -- 1 tb cider vinegar
1/4 tsp grated ginger or powdered
2 - 3 tb brown sugar depending on your taste
2 tb butter browned // -- 1/2 cup orange juice
Dash of salt (optional)

Boil walnuts in water for a few min til tender / drain water. Saute onion til transparent with a tiny bit of oil. Then either push to far side of pan to brown the butter or remove onions for a moment. Add in butter to brown and .. then spray rest of pan with Pam oil spray, add remaining ingredients and saute all together til cooked through. If you like a bit spicier, add a little more allspice-sometimes i add a dash of cinnamon as well... and sometimes i leave ginger out completely.

** Also may add a few golden raisins or currents and even some finely diced celery if you like. This is very good with poultry or pork.

** This chutney is great served on my favorite :
'Chutney Lettuce Wraps' using ground beef- pan fried finely into small pieces and cooked with a bit more of onion and dash of salt. Using Romaine lettuce leaves, trimmed at bottom, place in about 3TB of the ground beef (not real chunky) into the pocket of leaf & then add a spoonfull of California Chutney spread on top of that. Serve 2 wraps to a plate and the person may gently fold leaf together and eat. These are tasty, healthy, and a big hit. I have served with a buttery rice on the side and fresh slice red pepper.

You could also wrap with a flat bread or tortilla- however add a bit of chopped lettuce inside before wrapping. MMmm good!
