    Put the vinegar, 300ml water, sugar and spices in a very large pan. Heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves then add the rest of the ingredients with a tsp of salt.

  • step 2

    Bring back to a simmer then simmer uncovered for 2 1/2 hours until darkened, thick and chutney-like.

  • step 3

    To sterilise the jars, wash thoroughly in very hot soapy water. Rinse in very hot water then put on a baking sheet in a 140C/fan 120C/gas 1 oven until completely dry.

  • step 4

    Pour the chutney into the sterilised jars while still hot, seal and leave in a cool dark place for at least 3 weeks before opening.

A little more detail for this beginner please. Define Mixed Spice used here. I have Masala Kootu which I bought as a bag of ingredients then ground them up at home. Would this work?

Rather a late reply but... the contents of ground Mixed Spice can vary a bit. The one I'm currently using contains coriander, cinnamon, fennel, ginger, caraway, cloves, nutmeg and pimento. Another I've used also contains turmeric and cassia.

I've made my chutney but forgot to put the onions in! Fundamental error! What do people advise please?

Would it work with Cherry tomatoes?

Hi, thanks for your question. We haven’t tried it with cherry tomatoes but it should work well. Just use the same weight as for regular tomatoes. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Not all my tomatoes have ripened yet, can I use some of the green tomatoes?

Just made a half quantity of this and unlike the previous comment, mine did look surprisingly like the picture. I've put most of the jars away for a few months as suggested, but it smelled so wonderful that I couldn't help trying a bit when potting it up... It's delicious! Don't think it will last…
