- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

I do not particularly care for cloves. Is it a must to make this recipe good or is it optional? Moderator response: definitely an option!

This recipe was great! We had it as an appetizer before Thanksgiving dinner and we ate so much we weren't hungry for dinner!

Excellent dish! I brought it to a party, and it was gone in no time. Have made it several times since and have gotten several requests for the recipe. It is a great appetizer for the holidays as it is so colorful.

This is a great recipe to bring to a party for an appetizer as not only does everyone else enjoy it but you can too! It's also very quick and easy to make. I have also substituted frozen cranberries too and have served the chutney over turkey, pork, and spread on english muffins.
