This turned out to be a great cheese platter. I'm not usually a fan of blue cheeses on cheese platters but I LOVED the buttermilk blue cheese. I also loved the gruyere and now have a habit of keeping a block of it in my fridge to snack on with some crackers for a late night snack. The grapes and apples made the plattter look elegantly decorative. I didn't make the chutney though. I'll have to try it the next time, but the selection of cheeses was superb!

I made the Chutney to serve with cheese while on vacation at the beach, the reduction process took a lot longer than 20 minutes on a low simmer though. The flavors really come together nicely and am looking forward to serving it to friends this evening pre-cookout!
