Green Tomato Chutney

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds green tomatos
  • 1 pound apples
  • 1/2 pound stoned (or stoneless) small raisins
  • 1/2 pound sultanas
  • 1 pound brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 pound onions
  • 8 to 10 chillies (hot)
  • 1/2 ounce dried ginger
  • 1/2 ounce salt
  • 1 pint malt vinegar

Instructions

Peel and cut up the onions, put in a large pan with a little water and boil until softish (the original used shallots and omitted this step You need to do this first, as the vinegar has a hardening effect on onions). Cut up the tomatoes, peel, core and cut up roughly the apples Bruise the ginger (if whole) and chillies and tie in a muslin bag (I like to add mustard seed, bay leaves, peppercorns and/or mixed pickling spice as well) (the foot of an old pair of clean tights will do, or a jelly bag) Add everything except half the vinegar and the sugar and simmer until everything is soft - maybe a couple of hours. Add the rest of the vinegar and sugar, and simmer until thickish. Bottle - don't use metal lids or the acid in the vineagr will corrode them Improves as it matures. Yield: about 7.5 lbs
