RECIPE: tomato apple chutney  - 280811

Tomato and apple chutney

Ingredients
300 ml malt vinegar
225 gr soft brown sugar
150 gr sultanas
1 kg ripe red tomatoes, cut into 6 or 8 pieces
250gr green apples, peeled and chopped
200g shallots, peeled and roughly chopped
2 red chillies, chopped
1 teasp root ginger, finely chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation method

Place the vinegar and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook for three to four minutes until the sugar has melted.

Add the sultanas and cook until just reduced.

Add all the other ingredients, bring to the boil and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently.

Leave the chutney with a chunky texture and not too cooked as that will cause it to be a purée.

Cool the chutney, place into sterilised jars and store for two to three weeks in the fridge.
(I still have a couple of jars in the fridge a few months later, and they're still perfectly okay).

Will have to try this, Hilda. I especially like the tip about not being tempted to overcook to reduce the chunkiness.

Hi David,
I almost didn't recognise you ;-) Where's that pirate avatar gone to, haha?
I still have to answer and thank you for your lovely comments from our 'meeting up' in Edinburgh (and with Gill in London), but I am always too busy with the grandchildren ;-)
I'll do my best to write something this week.
