- Ingredients
- 16 ozs onions (finely chopped)
- 1.333 cups Cider vinegar
- 16 ozs cooking Apple (peeled and cored weight)
- 16 ozs Pear (peeled and cored weight)
- ¾ cup dried Apricot (chopped)
- 1 ½ cups light Muscovado sugar
- salt
- peppers
Preparation steps
1.
Put the onions and half the vinegar into a large heavy-based pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
2.
Cut the apples and pears into small pieces and add to the pan with the remaining vinegar, apricots, sugar and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
3.
Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved completely, then increase the heat and simmer steadily, for about 40-60 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture is very thick. To test when the chutney is cooked - make a channel across the surface with a wooden spoon: if the impression lasts for a few seconds and does not fill up with vinegar it is ready.
4.
Spoon into hot sterilised jars, seal and label. Leave to mature for at least 3 months in a cool, dry, dark place.
