  Great- as good as branston (but different!). I live abroad and miss chutney. This was a real pleaser. I will be making during the year for the summer too.

  Gorgeous. Made it October time and followed receipe exactly. Only recently started making chutneys and tried this as it had such good feedback. Served it with chicken liver pate as a starter on Christmas day & everyone loved it. Its also great with cheese, cold meat etc We have already gone through all the jars we had and so I am planning on making more. Don't limit it to Christmas! Personally I think it would be a nice barbeque relish

  A fair bit of prep, but really worth it - delicious all year round. Everyone who sampled this chutney loved it!

  I don't like green peppers - what would be a good substitute?

  To REMCC, I have now made this chutney three times in the last year, planning on making more over the weekend, between Lidl and Aldi all the ingredients are on special offer this week. I don't like green peppers either and make up the 900g of peppers and aubergines with whatever combination I have, so far it has turned out great every time. I always use some yellow or orange peppers, we prefer the flavour and colour.

  I'm about to make this chutney, but want to know if anybody has reduced the amount of sugar and by how much, as I don't like things to be too sweet. Also can it be left to mature for 3 months? and how long does it last once opened? (or does it not have a chance to go off!!) I would be very grateful for some feedback. Thank you

  Making this chutney has become one of our family tradition. It's so good we have used as part of Christmas Hamper gifts in kilner jars and goes down a treat. It did take longer to cook through and has got quite a kick to it. Our favourite chutney!

  Just finished this recipe, my first chutney. Had a quick taste and really pleased, now away in the cupboard for Christmas hampers. The 30mins tho I found way out took mine about 1.20mins, did speed up however when input the lid on.

  Just made half the quantity of this, had a quick taste before it went in the jars, I think it's going to be good! I found the cooking times in the recipe ok, but I guess it would take longer for the full quantity. I also cooked the vegetables with the lid off at the beginning like someone here suggested, which might have helped. Looks a bit horrible initially but by the end it looked more chutney-ey, like the picture. If you're short of jars (I don't normally make chutneys/jams so I don't keep them usually), sainsburys do basics lemon curd in a jar for 22p, cheaper than buying just a jar!

  Just made this today (Oct 20th)to mature for Christmas (if it hasn't been eaten!). I first found this recipe in BBC Good Food magazine some years ago, I have made it every year since! Its delicious with cold meats and cheese, its a bit different from the usual chutneys. Personally I add a little more spice usually in the form of chilli flakes.

  To date over the last 3 yrs I have made upward of 100 8oz jars for friends and family . I also make Delias and Nigellas Xmas chtneys but none compare with Mary,s . The overall time for preparation and cooking given as 2 1/2 hrs is a little short . The cooking time to evaporate the surplus liquid given as 30 mins is more like 1+ hrs . The figure of approximately 6 lbs of chutney for the recipe I have also repeatedly a little too much more like 4 1/2 lbs . Apart from that the chutney is brilliant and I cant wait till next xmas to start again Don S

  first time making this chutney and found it very easy i left the veg chunky so they wouldn't break down. i added a chilli and 1 tsp of cayenne and its got a lovely bite to it. after adding the sugar ect it took about 45-50 mins to get it to a lovely thick syrupy texture. made about 7 varied sized jars!!! oh i also did a white wine red wine and balsamic mixture cause i didnt have enough ww vinegar!!

  Just made this for Christmas. Was relatively easy to make, lots of ingredients to begin with but it doesn't go far. Couldn't believe the amount of liquid produced from the peppers onions and tomatoes! Will probably make another batch. I halved the cayenne in this batch according to others reviews but may put the 2 in the next batch. Looking forward to trying it at Christmas.
