Equipment
preserving pan or a heavy based large pan
4 sterilised jam jars
Ingredients
225gonions
900gBramley apples
100gsultanas
15gground coriander
15gpaprika
10gmixed spice
10gsea salt
340gcaster sugar
400mlmalt vinegar
Instructions
Chop your onions, core and chop your apples to around 1cm cubes, and add both to your pan.
Stir in all the spices, salt, sugar and vinegar.
Set over a medium high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, until boiling and then turn down to a simmer. Simmer for 90 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or so to ensure it doesn’t stick on the bottom.
The finished apple chutney should be a thick consistency – it’s ready when you drag the wooden spoon over the surface and it leaves a trail for a few seconds.
When it’s ready, simply add to the sterilised jars and seal tightly.
Notes
I have used Bramley apples. You ideally want a tart apple to make chutney, not a sweet eating apple.
This apple chutney will keep for over 12 months, stored in well sealed sterilised jars in a cool dark place.
To sterilise jam jars, ensure they are completely clean, and place in an oven at 160° C for 15 minutes.
