Green Tomato Chutney

Back to the Menu...

A good chutney. There are several important points to remember: the chutney will burn if you're not careful. Also, be careful with ground ginger; this spice is unusual in that it's stronger than the fresh variety. Finally, chutney mellows and improves, the longer its kept.

2 1/2lb 1kg Green tomatoes
2 1/2lb 1kg Cooking apples
2lb 900g Onions
6 Large cloves garlic
1lb 450g Raisins
1lb 6oz 625g Soft brown sugar
1oz 25g Pickling spice
1/2t Cayenne
2 level D Ground ginger
1/2t Salt
3pt 1.75l Vinegar

Coarsely chop and then waz all the big bits in a food processor. Mix all the ingredients up in (probably two moderately-sized) pans(s). Bring to the boil and simmer until cooked (about 3 hr's). You can tell when it's done, because a trail left by a spoon will not fill with liquid for several seconds. Store for at least 3 months.
