Oh yum – Home made chutney is the best. Thanks for sharing

My Mum made one or two batches of Tomato Chutney every year using a recipe that is in the Green & Gold Cookery Book. I don’t remember her putting garlic in it but I know the recipe has sultanas (or maybe raisins) in it. She made it in an old fashioned jam pan. (it was large enough to put 12 pound of fruit, 9 pounds of sugar (put on top of the fruit) + water in it to prevent the sugar sticking to the pan until enough of the juice was released from the fruit..(that explains the size of the pan we used)…. I can assure you we never cooked the chutney for 5 hours. It was cooked, bottled and sealed in less time than that. It kept for at least 2 or 3 years as the vinegar acts as a preservative. We also made Plum Sauce using a similar cooking method.

Love a good homemade chutney looks delicious

Great and most important it is homemade. All the ingredients can be added according to taste.

it would be good to make up a big batch of this for chrissie presents

This recipe sound wonderful – would be a good fundraising exercise to make up a whole batch!

This turned out so good, even was able to swap some marinated olives for a couple of bottles.

These would be great gift ideas

Love a good chutney recipe and have a good harvest of tomatoes waiting to be cooked.

I love a home-made chutney. Will try this.

Love a new chutney recipe, I have many going back generations, and cook them all!

Chutneys are always good with many dishes and meals. I enjoy a good chutney with a ploughmans lunch, on sandwiches and with cold meats. Thanks for our recipe for chutney, I will try your recipe.
