  We had a glut of pears and plums in late summer, so we made this chutney, left it in the back of a cupboard and forgot about it... until last night. Words fail me to describe this chutney, by far the most opulent I have ever tasted, truly magnificent. Our one and only deviation from the recipe was to use fresh grated ginger instead of the preserved variety, but I don't think that made much difference. I just wish we has made more!

  made this chutney last month - easy peasy & bottled. Just had my first taste this lunch time - its delicious!!! Takes time to chop everything up but really worth the effort (have something good on the radio) - great colour and just the right thickness. Definitely one to make again!!!

  I made this chutney a few years ago and it is fantastic, you do need an awful lot of fruit for it so probably best to try when the fruit is in season so it will be cheaper to make but it really is worth making. Especially good in a cheese sandwich!!

  I followed the recipe exactly however found it took 2 hours to reduce and I still had to remove some of the liquid. Maybe my plums had a high water content!! Apart from that it smells and seems like it will taste great.

  what a lovely, simple, fuss free chutney. had been given loads of apples and plums by a neighbour and decided to do something with them right there and then - the best thing about this recipe was that i didn't have to go shopping for ingredients as i often do for chutneys and the like; i did it completely out of my store cupboard, just substitued the mango for a tin of peaches!! turned out perfectly, 4 quite big jars and one smaller one. couldn't resist keeping a little so i could try it, the smell was wonderful, and it tastes fab, even at this early stage.

  lovely flavour and so so yummy you can just eat it from the jar. But I have to say it's a bit runny that what I would like to see in a chutney .. May be less Vinger next time for I thnk the fruit also full of liquied. But worth making indeed!!! thanks to Angela Nilsen ;-)

  This is a lovely chutney - it was so hard to wait until it was ready to eat! It is sweet with a hot chilli kick in the background, rich and spicy, and good enough to eat on it's own (yes, I have done this....)! I couldn't find dark muscovado sugar so used a mixture of light muscovado and dark brown sugar, and it didn't seem to detract from the success of the final result. I also added a handful of sultanas to it whilst cooking, which I think works well. While not exactly runny, it is a bit saucy, but I am fine with this. Will definitely make again.

  I am about to make this and a little unsure how long it needs to be left before we can eat it! First time of making chutney and all opinions welcome! Thanks.

  My first attempt at making chutney or pickle; and I was very excited (apart from the chopping). I was a little worried that it was still too runny when I bottled it. Not sure if it should have thickened a little more. Anyway, opened one of the little jars tonight (the day after I made it) and it was very tasty. Concerned how long it will keep, and where I can keep it. But i'm enthused to try something else very soon
