    The recipe is very flexible and using prunes sounds perfect.

    I’ve heard that before, about the pimento chutney. I love all sorts of chutneys as condiments to food. Thanks for the tip.

    Just made it for Shabbat. Tangy, sweet and spicy at the same time! Also, I used chopped prunes instead of golden raisins giving beautiful color(using up chametz). Delicious!

    I made lots of this — almost all gone; great with roasted chicken. More to make for Purim mishloach manot.
