Mrs H.S. Balls Chutney is a South African tradition
Indispensible 
Mrs Balls is a South African staple. It's not only one of the best chutney's I've ever eaten with curry but it does double duty as a sweet/sour sauce or dip, turns regular old cheese sandwiches into a teatime delicacy and goes wonderfully with deli meats. We go through huge amounts of the stuff (as I imagine most south africans do) and I always take particular pleasure in introducing my american friends to its yumminess.
Highly recommended by this particular ex-pat.
My favorite chutney.
Anyone who grew up in South Africa loves Mrs. Balls Chutney. I have been living in the USA for twenty years and have tried many chutneys, including many from local Indian Groceries and home-made varieties from speciality stores. Nothing quite beats the taste of this brand. I know many recipes that use this chutney to make a wonderful marinade, or sauce for chicken dishes as well. These recipes can be found on line. I was delighted to find that Amazon had listed this incredible product. I bought six bottles and as soon as they are finished, I know where I can find them again. Either the Regular or the Peach varieties are a family favorite, even amongst my American born children. Thank you Amazon.
Nothing else like it
Just seeing the jar on the table as one settles down to a traditional South African lamb curry with a dollop of Mrs. Ball's is enough to put you mentally right down in Durban or Jo'burg. Somebody told me they'd changed the recipe, but it tastes original to me.
Mrs.Balls
I was first exposed to Mrs. Balls in South Africa. It was a nice flavor but I didn't truly appreciate it since all of the foods I used it with were new flavors to me. Now that I tried it on American food, I can't believe how good it really is. It adds such a new twist to the same old foods. I looked to buy it in the US stores and couldn't find it anywhere. I was so happy to find a vendor and even more impressed that it wasn't overpriced. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product
Takes you "back home"
This is a very versatile sauce and if you have ever spent much time is S. Africa, then a taste of this product will certainly "take you home." There is something about the flavor here that simply cannot be replaced. We use it as a garnish for many nontraditional dishes; on sandwiches, as a dip and great additive. I like it on scrambled eggs and fried potatoes
