Chutney - basically: 4lb of fruit - which in our case was apples and tomatoes, 1lb of onions - we used 1/2 lb onions, 1/2 lb shallots, 2pts of vinegar (we used cider and raspberry because it was in the cupboard) 1lb sultanas 1 1/2 lb medium soft brown sugar plus one rounded teaspoon each of ground ginger, cinnamon, mixed spice and mustard plus one level teaspoon mild chilli powder.
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 3 - 5 hours until reduced and thick and great looking. Then bottle up in jars. I now smell of chutney. BTW - Chutney is a 19th Century Hindu word 'Chatni' - apparently before that we had pickles and savoury marmalades but chutney describes a preserve with fruit, vinegar and spices.

I bought some Ring of Fire peppers today - they are so hot that when I opened the plastic bag they were in to check on them, and ooh they smelled good and hot and my eyes started to water ;) I don't know what I'll use the peppers for. Maybe some salsa. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
