I know. Strange isn’t it? In my whole illustrious career of reviewing spicy products, I’ve never once reviewed a chutney. Well, that’s all about to change. Fiery Peach Chutney comes from the newest breakout sauce company, Heartbreaking Dawns and appears to be an chunky, category melding, chutney.

Heartbreaking Dawns Fiery Peach Chutney Ingredients: Peaches, dried cranberry, crystallized ginger, red peppers, sugar, garlic, Habanero peppers, vinegar, mustard powder.

Up first comes a nice sweetness from all of the ingredients. Right off the bat we have Cranberries mixing with Peaches, then the crystallized Ginger following that. Chunks of garlic that have absorbed a massive amount of flavor come in next with the Habanero after that. There’s no mustard flavor (thank god) and no vinegar taste.

The ginger and cranberry both flow in and out of the after taste for quite a bit and I’m really liking that. Spice wise, it’s not very. There is a slow creeping heat that peaks in the back of the throat briefly, and then fades to a memory. It’s also very consistent in that area as well. Eat, small heat, fade. Eat, small heat, fade. No building heat here.

My only complain with this is the pepper seeds are a bit chewy which is in direct contrast to the soft ingredients. Other than that, this is really a fantastic chutney! It’s not overly sweet, the heat is accessible, and the flavor is colorful! I definitely would seek this one out.

Taste: 8.9, Heat: 3.4
