Relish and Chutney are quite similar. Both are condiments made from small pieces of vegetables or fruits mixed with spices and other flavors, vinegar, sweetener, and spices. The main difference between the two is their consistency. Relish ingredients are cooked for a short time in vinegar, sweetener, and spices, retaining some crunchiness in texture. Chutney is typically fruitier and is usually slow-cooked until the ingredients become smooth and soft.
