Ingredients
- 1000 grams Green tomatoes
- 250 grams Onions
- 250 grams Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 150 grams Raisins
- 200 grams Brown sugar
- 300 ml Malt vinegar
- 15 grams Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green tomatoes thoroughly and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the onions.
Step 3
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
Step 4
In a large, heavy-based saucepan, combine the chopped green tomatoes, onions, apples, and raisins.
Step 5
Add the brown sugar, malt vinegar, salt, ground ginger, and chili flakes (if using) to the saucepan.
Step 6
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 7
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 90 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick and syrupy. Stir every 10-15 minutes to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Once the chutney has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 10
Sterilize glass jars by washing them in hot, soapy water and placing them in a preheated oven at 120°C (250°F) for 10-15 minutes.
Step 11
Carefully spoon the chutney into the sterilized jars while still warm, leaving a little headspace at the top.
Step 12
Seal the jars with lids and let the chutney cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place. Allow it to mature for at least 2 weeks before consuming for the best flavor.
