Labor Day weekend is here and its the last long weekend of the summer.So enjoy it to the full before you’re swamped with work,kids’ activities,school, homework etc etc.The idea is to not tire yourself,so try and go easy on those complicated recipes if you’re entertaining.And if you’re lost for ideas then fret not since our Sunday Supper has some amazing No Labor recipes lined up for you!
My contribution is a delectable appetizer that’s also pretty versatile and you might want to make a bigger batch.My Cream Cheese and Peach Chutney Pastry Cups are full of some very unique flavors from the fennel, nigella, cumin, fenugreek and mustard seeds that come together in the form of Panch Phoran also called Indian Five Spice.You can assemble them yourself or find them at your local Indian grocers where they come pre-made.Easy.
The chutney is a staple family recipe that Mom has been making for years.I’ve added the cayenne for some kick.The sweet juicy peaches combined with the distinctive flavors from the seeds is the perfect balance of the sweet and salty and the redolence is unbelievable.Once it’s chilled its ready to be smeared on your toast,served alongside a good roasted pork or chicken, served as a dip with crackers or as a topping on a cheese crostini.The possibilities are endless.
The pastry cups are a real blessing saving time and effort and give you the freedom to get creative.The combination of the cream cheese and chutney works together in this cute little appetizer bites that’s bound to get your guests raving!That’s what I call a No Labor Recipe!Enjoy.

I’d love to be popping one of these in my mouth right now! Sad to said, I’ve never work with or made anything with puffed pasty. This little snack might change that. So simple and so creative.

I just bought a bunch of nectarines that I was planning on making jam with, Soni, but now I’m thinking your chutney would be a much, much better idea. Love your beautiful filled pastry cups!
