Tomato chutney recipe

I have made two batches of chutney this summer with my crop of tomatoes. The first recipe ended up being very sweet. This second recipe came from a book sent from a friend in Australia. It is a collection of home recipes compiled in the 1970's. This chutney has ended up being hot. It will work well with curries.

I have had a request from another friend for my recipe so here it is.

3kg ripe tomatoes
1 kg apples (green) I used granny smiths
500g onions
250g sultanas
600ml vinegar I used cider vinegar
1kg brown sugar
4 tsp salt
3 tsp pepper
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Peel and cut up the tomatoes, apples and onions.

Boil all the ingredients together for 45 minutes. Then bottle and seal.

I used 2kg of tomatoes for my batch and factored the rest of the ingredients accordingly. I ended up with just over five 500ml Mason jars of chutney.

You peel tomatoes by immersing them in boiling water for a minute or so. I am so over peeling tomatoes!!!!!!!!!

Now to try a peach chutney recipe with the black boy peaches!
