  I have a query : I am about to go shopping for the ingredients for this cranberry chutney and can I assume that the volume of spiced vinegar should be 1� pints. 1� litres seems an awful lots of vinegar. It doesn't make it clear on the ingredients list. Sarah

  Spiced vinegar is found next to all the vinegar in the supermarket. It's the type of vinegar you get pickled onions in and yes you do need 1 and a half litres - it a lot you are making. I made 7 jars (50cl) worth. Oh and I used frozen cranberries (from freezer section).. hope that helps.

  A smashing recipe. I used fresh cranberries. When I had peeled and cored the apples, I found I was a bit short of 1 kg. Being unsure as to whether the 1 kg apple quantity was prepared weight or gross weight, I made up the shortfall of apple with more cranberry - it's a hard life, but someone's got to live it! The chutney is delicious, so obviously those apple quantities didn't make a lot of difference and the result was thirteen bottles, some of which will be used to raise money for the choir I sing in :-). And yes, the 1.5 litres of pickling vinegar is essential for the quanity of fruit etc in the recipe.

  I used vinegar suitable for pickling, not spiced, and it turned out beautifully. I found it took a lot longer to cook than stated in the recipe. Will certainly make it again next year.

  I thought it was a bit vinegary when I first tasted it but it calmed down a couple of weeks later. Made this wonderful chutney last Christmas and gave them as gifts - its October and they are still talking about it!!!! Big Mary Cadogan fan!!
