Sweet Potato Chutney

We're having spiral ham , bagged gourmet caesar salad (purchase the almost expired ones at macey's. They have a dollar off coupon on the bag and a 75 cent coupon inside the bag right now that you can use on your next bag.), homemade rolls, and sweet potato chutney.

The recipe for the chutney is in the Better Homes and Gardens big red cookbook:

2 tbsp finely chopped shallots mixed with some red pepper flakes
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tbsp dried cranberries
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (I use powdered)
1 med sweet potato peeled and chopped (chopped to the size of frozen carrots)

In a med saucepan combine all ingredients except sweet potato. Stir in sweet potato and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally while simmering.

This recipe serves four. I'm going to add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple because my husband has to have pineapple with ham. I'm looking forward to tonight's pre-thanksgiving feast!

IT's strong at first, but really good!
