Tomato Chutney

As previously mentioned, I was given a rather large bag of cooking apples and knew that I wanted to make a nice tomato chutney as I already had a floopin huge supply of allotment tomatoes.  I found this recipe online but have failed to find it again so thank you to whoever this came from originally - great recipe. I have doubled up the quantities as I had lots of veg to use including onions and garlic from the allotment.

Ingredients

2 Large Red Onions Chopped

1 1/2 kilos Tomatoes Chopped

4 Medium Apples Cored and Chopped ( skins left on ) 

8 Cloves Garlic Finely Chopped/Minced

250g  Light Muscovado Sugar ( I used dark )

2 Teaspoons Ground Ginger

1 Teaspoon Ground Allspice

500mls Cider Vinegar

Place all ingredients into a nice big pan and gently bring up to a boil stirring to dissolve all the sugar.

Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the temperature up to the boil, lower the temperature to a simmer and cook uncovered for approx 1 1/2 hours. 

I cooked mine for 2 hours as I wanted it a bit more syrupy .

Once cooked spoon into sterilized jars and immediately put a lid on.

Leave to cool and then label and place in a cool dark cupboard for at least a few weeks to mature.

Safe to say that as I had a little left over , I've already tried this. It would definitely benefit from maturing but its lovely and fresh and I think it'll be even nice in a few months time.
