Happy Home Date Chutney is made by MA's Kitchen under its Happy Home label, which joined MA's in 1995. It is made from sun-ripened dates and mild spices, and has a mellow, fruity, velvety sweetness without heat, which makes it a favourite with children as well as adults.
Dates make up 36.5% of the recipe, with sugar, vinegar, garlic, a little chilli and ginger. Serve it alongside fragrant yellow rice, or use it as a sticky, savoury glaze for roast meats and grilled chicken. This jar holds 200g.

How to use
Serve it at the table with yellow rice, biriyani or a rice and curry spread. To use it as a glaze, brush it over roast meats or grilled chicken during the last ten minutes of cooking, so it turns sticky and caramelised without burning. It also makes a mild dip for samosas and other fried snacks.
