Peach Chutney

Chutney. Weird word. Sometimes I'm also weird and crave sweet with savory. One of my favorite "bad for you" recipes I came up with in my less healthier days is rosemary olive oil pound cake with savory caramel sauce and whipped cream (way too much sugar and refined ingredients- not to mention dairy which I am allergic to - however, I'm still proud enough of that not-so-healthy recipe to show you a pic.....don't worry- it was not taken recently :).
Other favorite sweet/ savory combos:

• Rosemary with caramelized natural sugars
  
• Cinnamon with Cumin, like in Moroccan food or my savory sweet potato crisps
  
• Fruit with onion, like in the recipe below
• Honey or almond butter with smoky flavors like smoked paprika and garlic, I heart this almond butter recipe
  

Peach Chutney

Yields about 1 ½ - 2 cups of chutney

Ingredients

• 3 ripe peaches, diced (you can also use mangoes for a similar result :)
  
• 2 tsp lime or lemon juice (I prefer the subtle taste of lime, but lemon will work as well)
  
• 1 Tbsp honey or other sweetener (optional, see note*)
• ¼ small Vidalia onion, diced (about 2-3 Tbsp)
  
• 8-12 fresh basil leaves (about 1/4 cup)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• Pinch of course salt, or to taste (I used fleur de sel)

Method

• *If you aren’t using honey, or replacing with stevia, go ahead and dice the peaches and toss with the lime juice 30 min.-1 hr. beforehand so that the natural sugars of the peaches make some good juice.
• Stir all ingredients together and let marinate for at least 30 minutes
• Serve over chicken, fish, or bread for a good sweet/ savory appetizer. The picture above is on this bread from Roost. I just replaced the eggs with 3 Tbsp chia seeds and 1/3 cup water to make it egg-free.

Do you have any sweet/ savory combos that totally float your boat?
