    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...

    I made this recipe last year and everyone that tasted it asked for the recipe. My confession......I used 2 large tins of pineapple.

    I have made my first batch of this and it tasted yummy. I think I would double up on the quantities to make more presents for Christmas next year. I may make other batches for the the rest of the year using the idea of tinned pineapple. I am going to try out on friends tomorrow with our cheese course. My only worry is it appears a bit runny - so I will see if it gets better when kept a little longer. Once ingredients chopped - a "doddle" to make!!

    Did anyone get an answer to how long this will last for? Other chutney recipes I have looked at keep for 4 weeks in the fridge, I am assuming this churtney will be the same?

    I was thinking of making this with tinned pineapple as someone suggested - does it turn out as tasty as with fresh? Also how long will it keep?

    Delicious but I made mine a little too hot! Used "Easy Chilli". Next time will use less!

    I have made this twice now. Firstly for myself as a trial run, then made for Christmas gifts. It's a delicious and colourful chutney which goes well with cooked meats (ham/gammon) and cheese. V easy to make. Will definitely make again!

    As long as you don't open the jar it will keep for at least 1 year. Once opened, keep in the fridge. I've had home made chutney (tomatoes) keep in the fridge for 1 year.
