Method

• Put all ingredients into a heavy-based pot, slowly bring the boil stirring to dissolve the sugar
• Reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 2 hours
• The mixture will start to turn a dark caramel and thicken up
• You will need to keep an eye on it closely at the end, stirring it to stop it sticking
• Its ready when you can draw the wooden spoon across the bottom of the pot, and it leaves a trail
• Have your jars and lids ready to go, an easy way for sterilizing is to put your jars in the oven and lids in a pot of boiling water
• Fill the jars and make sure the lids are on tight and leave to cool
• Label your chutney
• Store in a cool dark place and try and leave them for a few months before eating
