Overdone chutney... Can it be saved?

K9sandFelines

First I cooked a glut of apples onions vinegar etc in the slow cooker, which turned out too runny. I then transferred it to simmer on the hob, which resulted in treacle toffee texture :rotfl:. It tastes a bit Christmas pudding-esque, and won't spread out of the jar and probably can't be easily tempted out. Can it be saved or will I have to soldier on as is/bin it?

Does it taste OK?
You could just use it in cooking, and/or water it down a bit each time you use it.

Yes tastes quite nice, just a bit chewy in parts, may try to scoop out and add warm water, see if it helps. Abit. Thanks

A bit chewy is fine. You could try adding chopped nuts for additional texture.

If it was burnt, it really would be beyond saving.

unless the flavour is really concentrated I wouldn't add water, but probably use apple juice as you used apples to cook it.I would try warming the chutney again and adding apple juice until it reaches the right consistency then re-jar into clean sterilised jars.
