    also took longer than 10 mins to complete, but worth the wait. Didn't bother with the grenadine since I didn't have any.

    Just made this to go with homemade pate. Reduced the ingredients to use 2 onions which has made a small bowl. Replaced the red wine with port. It tastes delicious might not last till my dinner party sat.

    This recipe is great without the grenadine syrup! I have made this 3 times now but didn't like the taste with the grenadine syrup. I have also tried this recipe with balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar and brown sugar instead of white sugar. I still used red wine as well. This made a rich caramelised chutney. One addition to the original recipe I also made was a little salt which brought out the flavours more.
