  Delicious chutney, very easy to make and is ideal for using up windfalls from the garden! I will definitely make this one again soon.

  I've just made this and looking forward to trying it. I did make a couple of substitutions however. I used sultanas instead of raisins and dark brown cane sugar instead of muscavado sugar as that's what I had in my cupboard - Still looks and spmells really nice and my son cleaned the pan out and said it was lovely!! Very easy and quick to make - definetely going on my homemade christmas pressie list!!

  I also used sultanas & light brown sugar as thats what was in the cupboard. Left out the almonds as I was making it for my 'Homemade Christmas' pressies & not all recipients like nuts. Just had a taste out of the pan & it was lovely! The chilli flakes give a subtle kick.

  Yummy! We used light brown sugar instead and it still turned out lovely! A nice spicy flavour comes from the Ginger, a really easy first chutney and we'll definitely make it again.

  First time making chutney and found this easy. Goes well with cheese and firend said it was great with a roll and bacon! Feel it could do with a little bit more sugar if I was to do it again as slightly vinegary

  Can I asked how long you simmered it for and how long till you ate it as it still hasn't thickened much after 2 hours and tastes very vinegary.I have doubled it so took that into account but still doesn't seem right

  Lovely with a mature British cheese and crusty home-made bread.

  Made this with leftover plums from my mothers garden which she had frozen a few months ago. VERY easy to make, I left out the almonds as didn't have any in the cupboard, and it still turned out well. Makes quite a lot and as there are only 2 of us I have put the rest into small jars to give to family as little Xmas gifts.

  To get 5 stars from me, I will add more chilli next time. Otherwise a good chutney but a bit bland.
