Prepare Apple Chutney

  1. 1

    Cook the Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine apples, onion, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and the mixture thickens, about 20-25 minutes. Set aside.

Prepare Cherry Gastrique

Cook Foie Gras
