The Best Simple Chutney recipes

All of my Simply Chutney Recipes in one place. No fuss, easy to follow recipes with full step-by-step photographs and all of my top tips to make delicious chutneys.

I always used to think that making homemade chutney was a level of effort that simply wasn’t worth it. But actually they’re so simple to make – well they are the way I make them! All of my recipes are easy to add additional flavours to if you wish and each gives you some ideas on how to do that.

Whilst I do love the classics like onion chutney, I also love creating recipes with fruits like raspberries that you might not expect to find in a savoury recipe. So with that in mind, I’m sure you’ll find a recipe here which will tickle your fancy.

I’ve also included a few favourite recipes to use chutney in or serve it with so don’t miss those.
