  Has anyone any experience with keeping this for more than 6 weeks as stated on the recipe? I would have thought if it was bottled in starile jars properly it should keep for months/year. I was hoping to be extra organised for Christmas and make it well in advance preferrably now!

  I found this really easy to do for my first attempt at chutney! The taste is very good and sweet and I'm looking forward to trying it again in a couple of weeks when it has mellowed. I used only half a chilli and didn't put any cardomom seeds in it. The only other thing I would say is that after simmering it for an hour. It then needed about another 60 to 70 minutes to reduce to a thick dark, jammy consistency. So it's not really a quick recipe!

  This was very easy to make and tasted delicious. Perfect for using up my cherry tomato harvest! Wish it could last for longer than 6 weeks - seems short for a chutney. Agree with the previous comment that the final stage of making it jammy took a little longer than the recipe suggests. Will definitely make again.

  Gorgeous - especially with mature cheddar on a simple sandwich, I also add it to pasta recipes, dreading getting to the bottom of the last jar!

  I thought most chutneys needed time to mature, but can this one be eaten straight away?

  This was my first attempt at any sort of chutney and it was so simple to make and I made it the week before Christmas and gave it as presents - it was a hit! The recipe states cardamon seeds but I took this as pods and used pods. I will definitely be making this again.

  I have made this simple chutney three times now and family love it. I gave it away at Christmas for presents. The mix of ginger, tomato and red onion is to die for on crackers with strong cheese - pure heaven. I used Milton tablets to sterilise my containers and was a bit unsure first time, not having made any chutney before I thought it would be difficult but it isn't. This recipe fills three glass jars with spring lids, I bought mine in Adsa as they were only £2 something for a set of three! I now make this every few weeks and although the recipe says it will keep for a few weeks mine is always eaten before then so I can't verify that! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed>. Helen

  For my first attempt at chutney I thought this was a perfect, simple recipe. It has gone down well with everyone and I think will become a staple basic recipe that I can experiment with. I didn't have fresh chilli, garlic or ginger, so used the pre-prepped stuff in a jar which worked well. Excellent!

  Just to echo a previous comment, has anybody tried keeping this for longer than 6 weeks? Does anybody know what it would only keep for 6 weeks if stored in sterile jars? I want to make this now ready for an Autumn market in the village in Nov.

  This is FAB! we found it a bit too sweet though. I'm going to make another batch to use up the last of the greenhouse tomatoes but will use less sugar and add more chilli :). I'll definitely use this recipe over and over again!
