    Malawian fruit chutney is an ingredient used to make the fish dish chambo.  One would not typically associate a fruit chutney with African cuisine but come to find out it is not so uncommon after all. When you consider that most African countries were colonized by some European nation,  it is not so surprising.  Chutney's are very popular in India for example and the British were the colonizers of India and oh yes, Malawi.  So perhaps that is where the introduction lies.  At any rate this chutney is what makes the Chambo delicious along with the curry spice blend.  You can use it on any number of things like ice cream, toast, eggs etc. etc.  This will make a quart of chutney and it keeps for a very long time in an airtight container in the refrigerator.  Enjoy!
