Would You Eat This Tropical Fruit Chutney?
A couple weeks ago, at a buffet dinner, I came across this gross-looking condiment. The only ingredient I recognized was pecans.

My guests couldn't get enough of the moist, light mocha sponge cake, which was a nice contrast to the sweet and nutty German chocolate filling.
Celebrate Flavors of the Holiday With Sweet, Spicy Pecans

52 Weeks of Baking: Pecan Pie Cookies
I originally thought I'd make a classic Thanksgiving pie for this week's baking project. However, as you may know, pie crust tends to thwart me. So instead of struggling about, I started thinking about ways to make a pie without making a pie.
