Boxing Day is the best meal of Christmas, and nobody has to cook it. Cold turkey, a slab of cheese, the end of the ham, and one jar in the middle of the table doing all the heavy lifting.
Mrs Darlington's Boxing Day Chutney is that jar. A proper British chutney, named for the day the oven is finally off and the fridge is still full.
If you grew up with a Boxing Day buffet, you know the chutney is what turns leftovers into lunch. This is the UK jar, and it ships from within Canada, so the 26th is covered.
Christmas in Canada, Boxing Day like back home. Find a spoon.
Frequently asked questions about Mrs Darlington's Boxing Day Chutney
Q: How big is the jar?
A: It is a 330g jar. Plenty for a Boxing Day cheeseboard, and usually enough to see you through the leftover sandwiches too.
Q: Do I have to save it for Boxing Day?
A: Nobody is checking. It goes just as well with a cheese sandwich in February, though it does feel most at home on the 26th.
Q: Is it a good Christmas gift for someone who misses home?
A: It is a very good one. A jar with Boxing Day on the label says more about a British Christmas than most cards manage, and it pairs nicely with a wedge of cheese.
Q: What does it go with?
A: Cold turkey and ham, a strong cheddar, a pork pie, or a cracker at midnight when you said you were done eating. Pretty much anything on a Boxing Day plate.
More about Mrs Darlington's Boxing Day Chutney
Chutney is the quiet backbone of British cold food. It sits next to the cheese at a ploughman's, gets spread thick in a sandwich, and turns up wherever there is a pork pie and a knife. Every family has a jar they swear by.
People in Canada go looking for this one because of the name as much as anything. The day after Christmas has its own rules back home: a cold table, a film on, someone asleep in a chair. Putting a jar called Boxing Day Chutney on that table does a lot of remembering for you.
It comes in a 330g glass jar, enough for a good Boxing Day spread with some left for the turkey sandwiches that follow. Unopened, it keeps happily in the cupboard; once it is open, follow the label on the lid. Spoon it next to cold meats, a sharp cheddar or a crumbly blue, or straight onto a cracker.
Mrs Darlington's makes a wider run of jams, curds and chutneys, so it rarely travels alone. Most people put it in the basket with a box of British crackers and whatever cheese they have been missing.
