EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - The Passover Seder is one of my favorite meals to make. Okay, sometimes the ceremony is a bit long. It's not really appetizing to talk about "murrain" or boils or even frogs during dinner. That jelly around the gefilte fish in the jar isn't really a turn-on, either. But the fact that people stay at the table together for four hours sometimes is unheard of at any other family celebration.

NEW JERSEY - This holiday season, try something a bit nontraditional, something a little sweet and savory to accompany either turkey or ham on your holiday table: cranberry chutney, a condiment that punches up a seasonal local ingredient with some South Asian flair. Chutney is made from fruits, vegetables and/or herbs with vinegar, sugar and spices. It's used to provide balance to an array of dishes, or highlight a specific flavor profile.
