  Delicious chutney, very tangy and the pineapple is not overpowering as I thought it might be. It will be lovely at Christmas with cold meats and cheeses. Once again Mary, thanks for another great recipe.

  I made the chili kick version and its yummy!! Not too spicy - just nice. When I got back from buying the ingredients I realised I didn't have a red onion - white tastes fine! I only had 350 ml cider vinegar - so red wine vinegar topped up the rest, and dark muscovado sugar, jsut seemed to make it darker in colour!! Makes a fab chutney, lovely with a bit of double gloucester!

  I had never made chutney!! apart fron getting dark sugar, and it needing almost a hour to cook, it was fantastic, and really easy, I will be doing a double batch next time to give away as christmas gifts, thats if it lasts long enough to give away!!!

  I have made the chilli version - delicious. Had to do a bit of mixing of vinegars and pulsed the dates too smooth but still fantastic have made extra as presents.

  I made a batch of this for christmas also as a christmas gift for a friend who does not like chocolate. It turned out fantastic the flavour is nice and rich and will go well with gammon and also the stilton and walnut biscuits from goodfood . My husband is not a keen chutney lover but he liked the combination of flavours ,definitely one for the binder

  This is a superb recipe! Great with a bit of cold turkey in a sandwich. I have given 4 jars away so far as gifts and all have come back and asked if I have any spare jars left!

  This is a lovely recipe. I added some chilli for a little kick and it is great. Should be great with the christmas leftovers, if it lasts that long!

  I made this a couple of weeks ago. It tasted very sharp, as though there was too much cider vinegar in there, is there anything that I could use to replace maybe 1/4 of the vinegar with? Would apple juice work? Having said that, the sharpness of it actually works really well with a creamy cheese. I'm giving some to my girlfriend, and will definitely make this again, maybe with a slight adjustment on the vinegar front. Oh and you'll be picking fig seeds out your teeth all day!

  I found it very sharp when I made it, but as it matures the vinegary taste mellows to give a fabulous tasting chutney. It needs a god 3 months to mature.

  I used dates and chilli instead of figs and ginger as per the tip. This chutney is amazing!! My family love it on everything from a cheese sandwich to cold meats or even a with curry. Truly superb, and found it delicious to eat straight away.

  I meant to make the dates and chilli version but misread the recipe and ended up putting both ginger and chilli into it....not sure what the original version is like but my "mishap" tastes fantastic!

  Top marks for this chutney, it's delish. I have made it with both fresh and frozen pineapple and can honestly say that it makes no difference to the end result.

  Made this with the chilli as well as the ginger - yummy, will be making again, popular with everone who has had it. Just one thing the flavour really did improve after a few weeks so give it chance, when I tasted it initially I want sure, but didnt need to worry....

  I made this in November 2008. Just found a jar remaining at the back of the cupboard. Just as good now as it was when we opened the first jar. Great recipe.
