Ham and Cheese Strata
1 Remove crusts from bread and cut each slice in half on diagonal. Spread each with mustard, then dip one side of each in butter. Arrange half the slices, butter-side-down, in ungreased 13" x 9" (3.5L) baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with ham slivers, cheese and parsley. Arrange remaining bread slices butter-side-up, on top and repeat with remaining ham, cheese and parsley. In medium bowl, beat together eggs, salt, milk, sour cream and Tabasco. Pour evenly over top. Dot with butter, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
2 Next morning, bake, covered, in preheated 350°F (180°C) oven 30 minutes; uncover and bake about 10 more minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes before cutting into squares or slices. Serve with Tomato Apple Chutney.
Tomato Apple Chutney
1 Stir together tomatoes, apples, brown sugar, vinegar, onion, apple juice, raisins, salt and cayenne in large saucepan. Tie pickling spice and cinnamon in several layers of cheesecloth. Add to tomato mixture, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 45 minutes or until thickened, stirring often. Remove and discard spice bag.
2 Transfer chutney to bowl or other container, cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate for 48 hours before serving, to mellow. May be refrigerated, covered, for up to 4 weeks or frozen up to 2 months.

Cooking Tips
I usually put the chutney in a mason jar to store and then serve in a dish when ready.
The chutney works great with Granny Smith apples.
