I have recently discovered preserving in jars 
I am going to attempt to make hampers for xmas this year as I'm tight on cash. I wanted to include onion chutney in them, I made some which turned out fine but only made two smallish/mediumish jars (less than 1lb each). This used a pack of tesco value red onions and about 100ml vinegar and sugar. Is that about the right amount or have I done something wrong?

My recipe for sweet onion relish
6 onions (I used 4 large brown, 2 red last time, but whatever you fancy)
2/3 peppers any colour
6oz/ 150g raisins
2 apples
2lb / 1kg sugar any kind
500ml / 1pt vinegar (brown for better colour)
200ml lemon juice
1 sachet pectin (check pack for how to use)
chop onions, peppers, apples as finely as you can be bothered.(If you put the onions in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before you chop you won't cry so much!!) I've left everything to soak overnight before and I think it cooks more quickly. Put everything into a large cooking pan and boil until a spoonful sets on a cold plate. If I remember rightly it takes about 20mins. Pour into jars and seal while hot.
Keeps for at least 18 months (never lasted longer). makes the house stink for a few days, but is fab on cheese on toast. If you wanted to keep it simpler the apples raisins and peppers are easy enough to miss out, but they make it sweeter, and the apples help it to set.0 -
I've never made onion chutney.
Were you following a recipe?
If so what is it that you think is wrong?0
