Another voice to encourage you to drop the chutney off for a food bank. Many supermarkets have a collection point. The little " extras" are much appreciated by the recipients of our parcels.
The food is wasted just as effectively by putting it on a shelf and not using it as if you got rid if it the following day.
Donating it to a food bank is a very sensible idea. people do not live just on beans on toast. The odd extra or treat is good fo people and someone may be delighted by your pot of apricot and sprout chutney. Let them have it before it goes out of date.
We do eat chutney but when I get near the bottom of a jar I’ll often use the remains in a casserole. You can’t really taste it but it gives the gravy more body.
There’s an app called Olio where you can share unwanted food - even homemade, opened or fresh fruit/ veg , chocolates etc which foodbanks wouldn’t take. Also you could try an app called Trash Nothing where people give stuff away for free.
Food bank - in date and unopened - would be grateful for them. Some people only get “cold” parcels because they have no means of cooking anything, so chutney can be a good addition to sandwiches.
You can send them here! I didn't get a single jar this year and was very disappointed. I love chutney with cheese and cold meat so I guess I have to use up my Autumn chutney and then go buy some more!
Sometimes a little chutney added to the sausage filling for sausage rolls or a quiche recipe is nice even if you don't eat chutney 'naked' May be worth a try, you never know!
What do you do with gifts of chutney? Over the years I've gathered a shelf full of small jars of preserves and chutneys that we'll never eat (neither of us likes chutney anyway). I don't go to coffee mornings or places where we can donate them, but I hate waste so am reluctant to throw them in the bin. Would a food bank be able to use them? They are hardly a necessary item.
