    I made this twice and neither batch was as red as the picture, but it looked fab anyway and tasted great with a bit of strong cheddar cheese. Agree with other comments, it's very easy to make and looks professional.

    Did not remotely look like the picture but tasted great. I only used 250g sugar because I couldn't bring myself to cook something with so much sugar in on top of raisins and apples. It tastes really good still.

    I didnt have Mascavado (light) so I used 3/4 caster and 1/4 dark sugar, also used 1/4 sultanas. It is the still the best Chutney ever, very easy and very tasty. I also added 2 tsp of chopped chilli. Is the best Chutney Ive had.

    I haven't made chutney for quite a while, so I was quite excited about this one due to all of the positive comments. So positive are the comments that I feel a bit bad to leave a negative one. Being a bit of an amateur chutney maker I may be missing something major, but alas, I followed the recipe and now find myself with almost 2 kilos of very vinagary chutney. I have heard that chutney gets better over time and the acidity mellows... Is it true about the acidity? I hope so. I wanted to write to just say that you may want to reconsider the amount of vinegar if you are trying this recipe for the first time. I think 300 mls would've done the job nicely. Maybe less. I'll try to be patient and see what comes of it, as everybody else seems to have made it perfectly.

    Made this chutney last night with a glut of home grown tomatoes. Used cider and white wine vinegar to the full recommended amount as had insufficient cider vinegar. Tastes delicious already, looking forward to tasting it again in a few weeks when flavours have had time to develope further.

    This is the first chutney I've made that I knew I would enjoy from the first tasting. I find skinning tomatoes a tedious job so I popped them in the microwave and only took moments.

    Used last of cherry tomatoes out of garden, pain to skin but well worth it. Chutney tastes lovely.

    Great chutney, goes with cheeses and brilliant with cold meat and livens up any sandwich. Look out for reduced price ripe tomatoes in the supermarket and make a cost effective batch!

    Fab Recipe! I really loved how easy this was to make :) Does anyone know how long this chutney will last? I put it in sterilised jars so about 6 months do you think? Thanks
