Here is a traditional English relish that goes great with any
roasted meat or fowl. It also makes a wonderful sandwich when
paired with thinly sliced sharp cheddar cheese.

Peach Chutney

3 lbs (1.3 Kg) peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 cups (1 L) distilled vinegar
1 cup (250 ml) raisins
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1 cup (250 ml) packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped fresh ginger
1/4 cup (60 ml) mustard seeds
1/4 cup (60 ml) kosher salt

Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive pot and bring to a boil
over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring
frequently, until thickened to the consistency of jam, 30 to 40
minutes. Store in jars sterilized and sealed according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Makes about 2 quarts (2 L).
