How do you use your chutney? Is it like a dip, or to add to cream cheese on crackers, or on meat sandwiches, etc? Is it eaten in copious amounts (like dipping chips in salsa) or small portions?

Limbs cut from vitex out front, thank you Antonio, and I've started pulling the soil and grass back from the first on a list of nine woody plants in the front yard (seven trees, two shrubs) that have too much soil up over their trunk flares. It comes from planting them from nursery containers that were already full of extra dirt over the roots, and who didn't plant trees a little deeper to help them stay upright back in the day? It seems that buried flares kind of smother the trees. I can see holes drilled across the front by woodpeckers going for beetles under the bark, this is a sign of stress in the tree. The guy I work for spearheaded this work in the organic landscaping industry about 10 years ago, and today you can find lots of landscape folks showing how to uncover root flares on YouTube. Unfortunately, most of my trees were planted about 20 years ago.
