225g/8oz onions, chopped
900g/2lb apples, cored and chopped
110g/4oz sultanas, raisins or chopped dates
15g/½oz ginger
15g/½oz cinnamon
15g/½oz mixed spice
A couple of Cloves
15g/½oz salt
340g/12oz granulated sugar
425ml/¾ pints malt vinegar
THE HOW-TO BIT
Put all the ingredients into a preserving pan. Slowly bring to the boil until the sugar has dissolved.
Simmer for 1½-2 hours, stirring from time to time to stop the chutney sticking to the pan.
When it is very thick and you can draw a wooden spoon across the base of the pan so that it leaves a channel behind it that does not immediately fill with liquid, the chutney is ready.
Turn into sterilised jars, seal and cool.
Store in a cool, dark cupboard for two to three months before eating.
