The Rebel House was the inspiration for this delicious Pickled Beet and Lingonberry Chutney. They serve the chutney with toasted baguette slices and a liver paté for lunch. I decided to steal their idea for the chutney and substituted my own paté. This is a popular dish from the past, but a lovely change from the usual sandwich fare.

- 1 cup white vinegar

Author Notes
The Rebel House is a local pub in our neighborhood. We have gone there for lunch any number of times. The food is good and the proprietors are fun, gracious and care about their customers.
