(NC)—Create a simple, mouth-watering chutney with all the healthy goodness of wild blueberries for your holiday table. Use in place of your favourite relish – it's ideal with roast turkey, duck, goose, pork, venison or broiled meats such as chicken and beef – as an accompaniment to a festive Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner or as a topping for turkey or chicken sandwiches. Or, serve as an appetizer by topping a small wheel of brie with chutney, bake in a 350°F (180°C) oven and serve with crackers or bread.
