Google will find you loads of recipes, many of them American. Here's just one that I found:

This one is similar in that it is dark and fruity.http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/spiced-damson-chutney,1652,RC.html
The only thing is, you'll have to wait till September to make it. Plums work instead of damsons, but you'll have to wait for those too. It is much nicer than branston too
The word 'pickle' is a misnomer in this case as it is definitely a chutney. Pickles are whole or chopped fruits and veg preserved in spiced vinegar.0 -

I agree with Thriftlady - this one is delicious, and much nicer than Branston. I've tried it with Victoria plums, too, but found it to be quite bland - much tastier with damsons.

In August 2005 we camped in Guernsey. A lovely family with 5 or 6 kids were in the tent across from us. I think they were from Bath. On the day that they left, the lady gave me a jar of Homemade chutney (she couldnt fit it into the car!!!) It was the loveliest chutney I have ever tasted and had it every day with my crusty bread and cheese on the beach. If you are that lady, please let me have the recipe. Many thanks0

There are some links to recipes in the Recipe for Branston pickle? thread. Making a pickle or chutney is a great way to use up left over fruit and veg so I tend to chuck anything I have in with the recipes too
