Sweet & Sour Plum Tomato Chutney

What is it about chutneys that its so versatile? I keep thinking and there are endless options ,using fruits and vegetables. I must say while chatting with my friend I got the inspiration for this chutney,so thanks  to her it was one of the fingerlicking lipsmaking good chutney I have ever made!
I used some tomatoes and Red Ripe plums for this,offseasonal for plums,but i guess the slight sour taste from the plums actually enhanced the whole chutney.
