Apple Chutney
An old recipe from the ever-youthful Mary Berry. Great for using up windfalls, makes about 2.5 kg (5-6 lbs in old money)
2 kg apples, peeled, cored and chopped into small pieces
900 g soft brown sugar
675g onions, chopped
1.2 litres malt vinegar
675g sultanas or raisins
25 g ground ginger
25g mustard seed (OH likes to put them in a muslin bag and take them out before bottling, but I like the little mustardy explosions of taste by leaving them in the chutney)
15g garlic, crushed
7 g cayenne pepper
Put the applies, sugar, onions and vinegar into a large pan. Bring to the boil and simmer until pulpy.
Add all the other ingredients and simmer for 10 mins or until thick. (I find it takes a bit longer than this!)
Put into jars in the usual way and cover with a waxed paper disc. Leave until cold, cover with vinegar-proof lids, label and store.
It's better to let it mature for about 3 months before use - I open the first jar at Christmas.
