This autumn chutney is perfect any time of day – use it as a compliment to warm porridges, or to add a little sweet flavor to accompany savory lunches or dinners. Date syrup, also known as silan, is now easy to find in many grocery and specialty stores, or order online from one of my favorite brands, Soom.
