Plum Chutney

Note:    On Friday the boys and I went to a friend's house to pick plums.     She had four trees and they were loaded.     The first thing anyone thinks of when they think of plums is jam or jelly.   My first thought is just standing there underneath the shade of the tree eating them straight off the tree until until I get sick.   Then, I think about all the ways I am going to use these delicious fruit!    Chutney is so delicious and great on chips or chicken.
