Persimmon Chutney

A chutney that’s both familiar and exotic, as diced apple mingles with cubes of barely cooked persimmon. To supercharge the sweet-sour experience, we used ginger, Espelette pepper and the acidic kick of two kinds of vinegar: rice and apple. On a cheese platter, this holiday condiment is a perfect fit with soft, creamy cheeses, and can also sub in for fruit ketchup with a meat pie or cranberry sauce with turkey.
