Method

  1. Put all the ingredients except the apple and rhubarb in a large pan with 1 tsp salt. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved then boil for 10 minutes. Add the apple and rhubarb then cook gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Decant into sterilised jars (wash in hot soapy water and dry in a warm oven) and store in the fridge until required. The longer it's left the better it will taste.

    My first ever attempt at making a chutney. This was very easy to make and has resulted in a delicious chutney.

    Made this for Christmas presents in October, let it mature for 3 months and have received lots of rave reviews. People love receiving something home made! It was very easy to make and tastes great with pork pie and cheese.

    I have now made this chutney more times than I care to remember. It's delicious and so easy to make! My grown up children always raid my stores when they visit and take a jar home with them.
