When I moved into my new house recently, I had the unenviable task of cleaning out the old fridge at the old house. And I discovered that most of the space in that fridge was taken up by little almost-empty jars of homemade jams, jellies, relishes, and chutneys. The new house has a smaller fridge, so I vowed to be more faithful in using up the things I open!

Back in January, I made a very nice golden mango chutney, and the remainder of the batch that I didn't process was still hanging out in a container in the back of the fridge. One night, I was watching "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" on the Food Network, when they profiled the devilled eggs and "Devils on Horseback" at The Spotted Pig, a pub in NYC. I was intrigued enough to do a little follow-up, and apparently, Devils on Horseback are dried figs (or prunes) filled with mango chutney, wrapped in a half slice of bacon, and baked until crispy. Easy and delicious, and a great way to us up some of those chutneys (or pepper jellies) that may be lurking in your fridge.

Just thought I'd share this savory suggestion with my fellow canners!
