  I found this took a very long time to get pulpy! There was still to much vinegar so had to strain it off. It did taste nice, will be ready at christmas so will let u know then.

  I used half the amount of vinegar, otherwise I think I'd have been cooking it for hours to thichen it up. It seems to be ok - hope so!

  I too had the "too much liquid" problem - and I used two thirds of the recommended amount of vinegar and drained the tomato/onion mix over a colander for a couple of hours before adding it to the pan. Loads of liquid came out and I hoped that was enough to crack the problem, but evidently not.

  Changed the quantities to 600 g and the same amount of vinegar shown in the recipe. Very pulpy from the start....fingers crossed it will be ok as this is the first time I have ever made chutney!

  Just finished making this one! Good recipe. Great to use up the late glut of tomatoes. Found the intructions clear and amounts perfect. Made about half and it filled five large jam jars.

  Too much sugariness for me: I want a sour, harsh relish: I'm going to try green tomatoes, scotch bonnet chillies, spiced white vinegar, and slow-cooked onions.

  Great recipe - but like others I'd query the cooking time - if working with the 2.5kg of green toms, I find that the best way to go is to bring to the boil then simmer for 3 hours on a really low heat. You can tell when its ready when it gets gloopy and there's a stick film round the sides where the brew has reduced. Think the simmer for an hour is very misleading. I also skip the draining - adding the ingredients brine and all I think it great for flavour - especially if like me you add a teaspoon or so of garam masala to spice it whilst marinading.

  I have never made any kind of chutney before but from giving it to my friends I have not had any negative comments, and now on my second batch! Thank you for a lovely recipe.

  Great chutney though it took quite a bit longer to make than the recipe suggested. First time I've ever made one and had to strain off quite a lot of liquid before putting in jars even though I only used 2/3 of the vinegar. It is good though and got rid of all those green toms that were never going to ripen.

  I have never made any sort of chutney before but can remember my mum making this years ago, so, when a final autumn forage around the garden yielded lots of green tomates and some windfall cooking apples I decided to give it a go. Very easy to make and tastes fabulous. I used cider vinegar because that's what I had in the cupboard and it's fine. Also started it off on the hob then transferred to the slow cooker so I could leave it unsupervised. It stayed in there all day, took the lid off to thicken it up and it has come out great. I am looking forward to sharing with friends and to making some more chutneys in the future, so encouraged am I by todays success.

  Really tasty and easy to follow recipe. I cooked it for a bit longer and used less raisins as they're not a favourite. Delicious on toast with feta grilled.

  Like many, I had the "too much liquid" problem, but I've since made another batch which was fine. I think it depends on how "green" your tomatoes are - the second batch was from very unripe ones (frost killed the plants and didn't want to waste them). First try at making chutney, fairly easy and absolutely delicious!

  Only had 100g of tomatoes, so used 1 large onion, 1 large apple, 100g sugar, 100g sultanas and 200ml cider vinegar. No problems with liquid content, just a nice pulp after an hour.
