Loved this recipe! I tweeked it a bit. Added lemon rind, all spice and some chili powder and replaced the sultanas with finely chopped dates.

I am sure that having three daughters (at least the ones you mentioned, although there may have been more) probably slowed down the ‘geting-ready’ process for your father! Our Christmas is full of traditions too, but I cannot imagine doing it all in sweltering heat. At least in the cold we have a good excuse to be trapped all day in a warm kitchen ;o)

Thanks so much for letting me know, Charles, especially as I’m cooking one tomorrow! My French is so bad, despite being forced to learn it at school. I think the problem is that Downunder, we are so far from anyone speaking French! But…I’m off to New Caledonia in January – maybe I’ll pick up a phrase or two! I’m sure you could make the chutney towards the end of your cherry season then keep it for Christmas. It should keep well if packed into sterilised jars.

Hi Charlie – aren’t Christmas traditions wonderful? Just today I was talking about some of my own with my mother-in-law! I can’t imagine what it must be like to have Christmas in summer. For me that would just be… so unreal. I’m used to coldness, or at the very least… “coat weather and a spot of rain”, lol!

The cherry chutney looks wonderful. Unfortunately cherries are totally out of season here but I’d love to make this in the summer and adapt it a bit to some summer barbecues maybe, or maybe it would keep until Christmas.

By the way, I should point out, as your friendly ex-France-inhabitant, that it should actually be “bûche” de noël. Otherwise it’s a “Christmas mouth”, which sounds like an interesting thing, but probably isn’t as delicious as a lovely log :D.
