Cherry Tomato Chutney & A Visit To The Farmer's Market-Happy Thanksgiving!

A visit to the farmer's market on the weekends is always exciting to see the locally grown fruits and fresh vegetables, bread, honey, eggs, handmade soaps, assorted jams and the market is packed with lots of people. This recent visit to the farmer's market had my refrigerator loaded with some cherry tomatoes, oranges and some fresh apples. Even though it's not a hunters paradise i came across some fancy cutleries that caught my attention and i got a cute salt and pepper shaker set. I thought of sharing the pictures with you all, hope you all enjoy the ride with me. 

Iam not sure how many of you have the liking for cherry/baby tomatoes. Apparently cherry tomatoes has some sweet taste to it and a chutney made out of it gives sweet and tangy kick to the taste bud. Loved it as always :) I roasted some of them with few tsps of olive oil, salt and pepper at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes to mix it in the salad and with the rest of the cherry tomatoes i made this chutney. As per some readers and friends request iam posting this recipe, you can follow the same method with roma or any other tomatoes in the pantry. It pairs extremely well even with lays chips.

Roads are already deserted, yup it's the holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving! Happy holidays and have an eye on what you are eating :)
