  Can anyone tell me what a 'non-reactive saucepan' is please? Will a large aluminium jam pan be ok? Thanks.

  Hi, I've just answered my own question by looking it up on the internet. Apparently, lots of peole have asked the same question on the web! Basically, non-reactive pans are made of metal that will not taint whatever you're cooking and the best recommendations are stainless steel or enamel, such as Le Creuset, as long as not scratched. So aluminium won't do.

  This is really good. I made it using fresh cranberries and it filled about 3 jars (slightly bigger than average). It's subtly spicy, fully of flavour and fairly sweet; just right to me, but with room to reduce the sugar if you prefer things more tart. It goes really well with cheese as well as with turkey.

  mmm yummy! I made this for xmas presents and had a sneek preview yesterday and it was gorgeous. Tastes best with thick slices of ham or game pate but also goes well with a strong cheese....it may not last long enough for presents at this rate!

  Great chutney recipe! I used one fresh chilli and a mixture of dried and fresh cranberries because I had some fresh leftover from another recipe. It turned out really well, nice warm spices with just a hint of a kick. I got four jam jars out of it, as suggested.

  Just made a batch of this for Christmas presents. It tastes incredible right out of the pan, so I can't wait to find out what it tastes like in a few months time when properly matured! Definitely making this again!

  I made this last night, Was my 1st attempt at chutney and this was really easy, smelt great and had a wee taste while it was hot and was gorgeous, sweet but with a kick of chilli. I did however only get 1 and 1/4 jars worth from it?? I used the small kilner jars (Like in the photo), did I do something wrong? reduce it too much or something? Was making it for crimbo pressies and dont want to have to make this 3 more times to get the 4 I require. Thanks for any tips x

  May I ask for assistance? I am in the USA. I have converted the grams and ml, etc. However I am puzzled on the size of the pears..The Bartlett pears we have are very large..It truly would help me if someone would advise how may grams of pear I truly need..I am lost. I have the recipe on the stove right now..I hope my conversions were correct. Thank you very much for your help.

  Hi Miss Shirley. The wonderful thing about chutneys/relishes is that you can throw into them what you like, and as much as you like and it will all reduce down to something yummy. So I guess it depends how much you like pears? If you do, then use the 4, even if the American pears are maybe bigger than you assume British pears are. If not, just use less. Besides pears reduce down quite a bit when cooked so you'll hardly notice. Enjoy!

  This was really yummy, I made it for my xmas hampers over a month in advance. Flavor gets better with age. I was a bit worried it would be too sweet and too watery just after i made it but it got nothing but compliments :)
