Notes
- The chutney can be blended with an immersion blender after cooking to achieve a smoother, paste-like texture.
- Cooking down the ingredients for about 45 minutes allows the sauce to thicken to jam consistency.
- Fresh basil and lemon juice are added at the end off the heat to preserve their brightness.
