From the largest city to the smallest village, farmers’ markets are everywhere. Take this opportunity to partake in the goodness of the earth. Invite friends and family over to prepare a salsa or a chutney using fresh ingredients from the market. Both salsa and chutney are considered a garnish, and both can be smooth or very chunky. Salsa is Mexican and has a tomato base, even when prepared with fruit. Chutney is from India and tends to be sweeter and not hot. Under the umbrella of relish, there can never be too many options. Every guest can leave today with a full jar and the recipe. As you prepare your salsa or chutney, incant:
