So here we are September 1st! I don't know how you feel that it's Autumn, but I feel cheated.. Summer was so hot, we didn't really enjoy it. We hardly sat outside, or even walked too far, it was just too hot.
One thing we realised over the weekend with the 'Girls' here, we no longer have any chutneys. So as we have a lot of tomatoes and cooking apples, I thought a Tomato and Apple chutney would be nice to make and easy.
So we will at the weekend as I had to order some pickling spices.
My recipe is....
3lb tomatoes, 3lb cooking apples, 1lb onions, 1lb Muscavado sugar.
3/4 pint Malt vinegar.
1/4 oz pickling spices tied in a muslin bag, 1/2 oz Salt, 3/4 oz ground ginger.
Peel and finely chop apples, tomatoes, onions.
Put all ingredients into a large pan and stir and gently bring to a boil with spices in the bag.
Simmer gently for about 2 hours.
Remove spices bag and pour into warm dry jars and seal.
This makes about 6 1/2 pounds.
It is delicious with cold meats, cheese or just a hunk of bread!
Enjoy!
