  Have never made chutney before, in fact have never eaten it either, but with so many green tomatoes left from this year's harvest, thought I would give it a go. Found the recipe easy to follow, although it did need more than an hour to simmer, mine took about three hours. However, according to my hubby who loves chutney, the finished product looks good and tastes delicious. There is certainly plenty of it!

  This is the first time I have tried any sort of Chutney, having a glut of green tomatos thought "give it a go" It is rather sweet, but hoping that may change before Chritmas, I did not use all the vinigar after reading other comments, so I had no extra liquid to worry about. I think this will be nice and found the recipe easy to use.. I did however find that it took longer to cook and ended up with a few burnt bits on the bottom of pan, but got rid of those.

  This was really good. Be warned though. mine looked nothing like the picture, but was a rather strange brown colour. delicious though. because of the high acid and sugar content mine has kept for two years (we had ALOT of green tomatos in the garden!) and we had it over two christmases. I left it intially to mature for three months because before that it was a bit sharp with the vinegar. it has got sweeter with each jar opened.

  Would love to make this as I have a glut of green tomatos but, have looked everywhere for "Spiced" pickling vinegar. Anyone got any ideas or sugesstions. Should I use ordinary brown vinegar and just add some random spices???

  I have just finished making this chutney and its easy, just waiting for it to mature. I made a few adjustments to the recipe due to only having 500g of green toms. I made it like this. 500g green toms,100g apples, 100g onions, 100g Sugar, 100g sultanas, 75ml white wine vinegar. After soaking the toms and onions overnight i added all the ingredients to a pan bought to the boil and then simmered until it turned to a jam consistency (about an hour). enjoy!

  I made this chutney last year noting the tip to use a bit less pickling vinegar than the stated 1.14 litres. It was an outstanding success and planning to make more in a week's time. Yum!

  we have made this for 3 years now and it is a massive success. We've even had to email the recipe to our family in Spain. One thing we do different is we hand blend it at the end so that is smoother and easier to spread. It is delicious. Great recipe.

  I agree with previous comments that the consistency was way too runny at first and therefore had to strain the liquid out before putting into jars, and also I liquidised 1/3 of it and then added it to the main pan which gave it a really good consisstency. Quite a messy process but well worth the effort as this is a very tasty chutney and I used up all my tomatoes from the garden.

  I made this chutney and due to reading everyone's comments decided to use Only half stated vinegar but didn't strain tomatoes and onions (threw it all in) this still took 3 hours of simmering. Also added teaspoon of black pepper, cayenne pepper, all spice and ground ginger (check out the spicy tomato and apple recipe on here, I'd previously made this and it's yummy). End result is now a really nice chutney and this recipe makes loads!!

  This is the first time I have made chutney and wish I had read the comments prior to this. I only had half the quantity of tomatoes so naturally halved everything. Unfortunately there was too much liquid and I had to strain this off before storing. Hopefully it will mature well.

  Good recipe with a good flavour. However it took considerably more than 1 hour to thicken. Could the reduction be carried out in a slow cooker?
