Several years ago, I was looking for a recipe to take advantage of our bumper crop of plums and came across a recipe for roasted plums. After tweaking it a bit, I have developed a very versatile version that my family and friends love. Season with ground white pepper and use it as a side dish for pork or chicken. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and spoon it over vanilla bean ice cream, angel food, or pound cake for dessert! Play around with the spice combination by adding cloves, allspice, or cayenne. Be adventurous!

I begged for this recipe at my favorite Indian restaurant. It is quite unlike any other onion chutney recipe that I've tried. It is surprisingly simple and full of taste. The ketchup and vinegar produce an orange hue and preserve the crunch of the onion. Serve as a garnish with toast. Try it!
