    It would be helpful to know the prepared weight of the pineapple since fresh pineapples vary in size plus you lose a lot when you remove skin and core.

    I agree with missmoffatt (above). It would also be good to know the shelf life of this chutney.

    Made this tonight and wow it is yummy! I just used 2 large pineapples on offer at £1 each and it all came together really nice. Jared it into little jars to put into my christmas hampers but of course had to jar up a big one for us!!

    I've made 4 jars of this for xmas presents. Made them on the 19th of this month but am concerned that they're not going to be any good. I've just looked at the sealed jars and they just look a little strange. Not sure if anyone else has a similar problem?

    Really enjoyed this chutney and it went lovely with cold ham. I used 2 largish pineapples and the quantity seemed fine. Made 3 jars worth and then some we used straight away. Bet it will be even nicer once it has matured for a while!

    Loved this. I found I needed to add a fair but of water over the time to stop it burning. Made it for presents and a whole jar was demolished in one sitting with some ham. Absolutely gorgeous - I'll be making another batch just for me...
