  1. Tip all the ingredients into a large heavy-based pan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Simmer for 1 hr, then bring to a gentle boil so that the mixture turns dark, jammy and shiny. Place into sterilised jars and allow to cool before covering. Will keep for 6 weeks.

    Very good, although next time I make it I will use a little less sugar, it is quite sweet. I also blended mine for a finer consistency at the end.

    I made this recipe but left out the cardamons as they are not a favourite in our family. I sauted the onions to give them more flavour before adding to the rest of the ingredients. The results were a delicious deep flavour and colour. Would recommend this to anyone who likes to add flavour to sandwiches.

    Easy and quick (as chutneys go!) and tastes divine with cheddar. Used a mixture of red and green tomatoes. Would perhaps add another or hotter chilli next time to give it a bit more of a kick and slightly less sugar.

    Have just made this and its very nice indeed! I used 120g dark soft brown sugar and 100g of honey from our own bees. I also used 2 red apache home grown chillies and added a few green tomatoes and a small cooking apple. The result was a lovely rounded full flavour, not too sweet. I will definitely be making this again!

    I made this when I visited my parents to use up their tomato glut. It went down very well and got polished off very quickly and my mum made sure she had the recipe to use again.

    First time making chutney was a success; when next I make it, I'll use 75% of the sugar as I found it a little too sweet for me and pre-sautee, maybe half, the onions as suggested by Annie. I used 5 cardamom *pods*, which is about 20 seeds .... nice to get the intensity of cardamom coming through in little bursts ... and probably 50% more garlic, chilli, ginger and paprika, but then I like it spicier .... recommended :o)
