Method

  1. Put the vinegar, 300ml water, sugar and spices in a very large pan. Heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves then add the rest of the ingredients with a tsp of salt.
  2. Bring back to a simmer then simmer uncovered for 2 1/2 hours until darkened, thick and chutney-like.
  3. To sterilise the jars, wash thoroughly in very hot soapy water. Rinse in very hot water then put on a baking sheet in a 140C/fan 120C/gas 1 oven until completely dry.
  4. Pour the chutney into the sterilised jars while still hot, seal and leave in a cool dark place for at least 3 weeks before opening.

    I made this yummy chutney last night and it turned out brilliant! Unlike a lot of other chutney's this one was not too sweet but really tasty and as I cut the ingredients in half it took just an hour to cook. Try it folks. Its really delicious! Mark.
