Has anyone got any chutney recipes to share please? I make jam but am a bit unsure about chutney. Thanks

    I have no idea if it's OS as such but is quite cheap!

    Apple Chutney
    3lb apples (sour eaters best)
    3lb onions
    1lb sultanas
    2 lemons
    1.5lb brown sugar
    1 pint malt vinegar or apple cider vinegar/combo

    Peel and chop apples and onions
    Put in large pan with sultanas
    Add lemon zest and juice
    Add vinegar and slowly bring to the boil
    When apples softened add sugar and continue to cook gently until chutney thickens (N.B it continues to thicken as it cools)
    Pot and cover while hot

    Must be simple as I can do it! :D

    There is a whole thread full of such recipes - "The Preservers Year" (sorry, don't know how to do links :o).

    thanks vl2588 :D

    I've added your Apple Chutney recipe to the Complete Cooking Collection as I'm not sure if the Preserves thread index is still being updated. ;)
