Chutney

Chutney is an English or East Indian relish, much esteemed for bon vivants. It is an expensive thing to buy, but can be made at home at small cost. A hasty mint chutney can be prepared fresh as needed, and is usually preferred in summer to Cachmere chutney. It is made in this way: Take a handful of fresh mint, a cupful of raisins, one of chillies, or the little red peppers, a half teaspoonful of salt and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Put these ingredients into a mortar and pound until the mixture is juicy and soft. Stir and pour into a pretty glass or china jar. No cooking is required, and it will be found an admirable relish with cold meats.
