Pineapple Salsa and Apple-Date Chutney - Thanksgiving Recipes - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

Are you up for adding a little spice into your holiday? This year, I'm shelving my classic cranberry sauce recipe in favor of something slightly more exotic: a pineapple salsa and an apple-date chutney. Untraditional, sure; but these flavorful toppings will definitely bring some excitement to your table and maybe even become a new tradition all their own. Try these simple recipes out when Thanksgiving arrives -- you might give up gravy for good.

Sarah's Tip of the Day: 

Chutney and salsa can be made up to three days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
