Spiced Apple Chutney


 
This chutney has a tangy, sweet flavour which is amazing in a roast wild pork sandwich (cold or hot) or with sharp, creamy cheeses like cheddar, white stilton or blue brie.



Ingredients
  • 1.8kg (or 6 medium) Apples (Red, green, whatever...), cored and chopped
  • 450g (or 2 medium) onions, peeled and chopped
  • 220g sultanas, raisins or chopped dates (or a combination!)
  • 2 Tablespoons ground coriander
  • 2 Tablespoons paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons mixed spice
  • 2 Tablespoons salt
  • 680g sugar
  • 850ml malt vinegar
Method

Put all the ingredients into a preserving pan (or similar, the bigger the better). Slowly bring to the boil until the sugar has dissolved.

Simmer for 1.5-2 hours, stirring from time to time to stop the chutney sticking to the pan.
 
When it has thickened, darkened, and you can draw a wooden spoon across the base of the pan so that it leaves a channel behind that does not immediately fill with liquid, the chutney is ready! 

Sterilise jars: put glass jars in the oven (no lids!), heat the oven to about 100 degrees (Celsius), handle carefully.

Turn into sterilized jars, seal and cool.

Store in a cool, cupboard for two to three months before eating.
