Hi Maow 425
I bought the slow cooker cookbook from Lakeland (my favourite store) for £9.99 and cannot recommend it highly enough - I am completely addicted and am currently trying out a couple of recipes a week. Happy slow cooking x

I am considering making chutney in my slow cooker and wondered what success you folk have had. It would be apple chutney and also ripe tomato as well.

Hi jasmine,

There's an earlier thread that may help so I've added your post to it to keep the replies together.

Decided yesterday to make a batch of HFW's Glutney to use up marrow and apples and tomatoes. Ran out of time last night and all the ingredients have been cluttering up my already cluttered worktop, so I got stuck in this evening, but what with X Factor and all that, by the time I'd finished peeling little apples and green tomatoes, and chopping it all, it went on the hob an hour ago. I daren't leave it simmering unattended, can't contemplate staying up waiting for it, and wonder if it would be ok in the slow cooker overnight? I have the 6.5 litre Crockpot, with low and medium settings. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, I'm in a bit of a panic now (not unusual when I cook late at night).

If you are still up, I would switch it off and go to bed. It will keep in a cool kitchen with a lid on with all that vinegar and sugar. Then you can start cooking again tomorrow

Yep, same here although I would probably scoop it into a plastic bowl on case the vinegar reacted with the metal pan overnight

Many thanks, it'll going again in the morning. Perhaps it may be even better for the wait, though accidental successes are pretty rare 'chez twiglet'!

Not to worry - this type of thing happens to me a lot, it often takes me 3 instalments to complete a batch of chutney or tomato ketchup!
It doesn't matter at all if you stop and start again anywhere in the process, as long as you have added the sugar and vinegar. It has never yet affected the quality of the end product. And I know now I can start this type of job even if I do not have a clear stretch of time ahead of me, so at least it gets done and the veg doesn't end up on the compost heap like it sometimes did in the past....... :-)
