Method

  1. Put all the ingredients, apart from the vinegar, in a preserving pan or large, deep saucepan. Add half the vinegar and season.
  2. Place the pan over a medium heat. Slowly bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  3. Stir the vinegar into the chutney. Cook for a further 30 minutes, stirring often, or until thickened. If it’s still runny, simmer for another 10-15 minutes.

I didn’t put chillies in as I don’t like them. I took a lot longer to reduce in the pan on a low heat. If you like more spice this recipe is quite delicious and quite mild. I used Bramley apples. Couldn’t buy mustard seeds so I used coriander.
