Here you go Kaz - I actually pick my tomatoes before they ripen just so I can make this.

Makes 4 x 500ml jars

225g soft light brown sugar
850ml malt vinegar
900g green tomatoes, roughly chopped
900g Bramley apples, cored and roughly chopped
225g sultanas
225g raisins
juice of 1 lemon
25g salt
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground mixed spice

Put the sugar and vinegar in a large pan over a medium heat. Stir often until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and return to the boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 2.5 to 3 hours. (You can tell it is ready by pulling a wooden spoon along the bottom of the pan. If a channel appears and immediately fills with liquid it isn't ready). Keep checking every 10 minutes after about 2.5 hours. As soon as the chutney is thick and the channel doesn't fill up with liquid, its ready.

Remove from heat and leave to stand for a couple of minutes. Pour into sterilised jars and store in a cool, dark place. Its best left for at least 2 months.

Oooh that looks good!!! I do love chutney 8-)

We can even use home grown apples, as D has a couple of apple trees 8-)

Looks fairly straightforward as well 8-)

Thanks!!

I will Ally, I got the other ingredients I needed (extra vinegar and the dried fruit) in Morrison's, and have ordered a small set of chutney jars from Amazon, so should be able to have a crack at it by the end of the week!!

Ah well, there was a slight panic when I realised my largest pan wasn't large enough!! However I had a brainwave (

) and Googled, and you can make chutney in the slow cooker, and my slow cooker is huge!! So I removed a bit of the vinegar and it should take about 6 to 8 hours, first one on high. Wish me luck :roll:
