Method
- Halve the plums and remove the stones, then roughly chop. Finely chop the apples and onions. Chop the ginger into matchstick-size pieces.
- Put all the chopped fruit, onions and ginger in a large saucepan with the vinegar, sugar, cinnamon and raisins. Peel a couple of large strips of the orange zest, using a veg peeler, then add to the pan along with the orange juice. Lightly crush the cardamom seeds in a pestle and mortar (or in a small bowl) and add to the pan with the star anise.
- Give everything a good stir, put on a medium heat and bring to the boil. When it just starts to bubble, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 2-2½ hours, stirring occasionally. It’s ready when there is hardly any liquid in the pan and you have a rich, thick chutney. Pour it into the sterilised jars and seal.
