Due to a heavy yeild and not supporting they enough one of the stems broke, leaving me with loads of green tomatoes.
I found this amazing chutney recipe, thought i would share it with you all, i recommend it highly.

Green Tomato Chutney Recipe
Serves: 4-8 Prep: 20 min
Cook: 1 hr
Ingredients:
•500g green tomatoes
•500g red onion
•250g sultanas
•250g brown sugar
•1 tbsp Salt
•1 tsp cayenne pepper
•1 tsp ground green cardamom
•500ml Malt vinegar
Method:
Chop everything up, no need for a perfection, and put it in a good heavy based pan .
Bring it to the boil and then turn down the heat , simmer for about an hour until reduced to a thick pulp.
Spoon into sterilised jars and enjoy either after standing for a while to let flavours develop or if you are a little glutton like myself grab the cheese and crackers and go watch TV .

I like to make green tomato chutney too. Was busy making it last Sunday. I also like to add apples to it, half a pound per 2lb of tomatoes. I try to make extra jars because by the time i have finished giving all my family and friends a jar each there is not a lot left for myself. Tastes lovely on both cheese sandwiches and cheese toasties. So yummy.
