Method
- Roughly chop the tomatoes, then place them in a large preserving pan.
- Peel and chop the shallots, then peel, core and chop the apples. Add them to the pan with the tomatoes.
- Deseed and finely dice the chillies, and finely chop the garlic. Grate the ginger and add to the pan with the chillies and garlic. Pour over three-quarters of the vinegar.
- Stir in the white mustard seeds, sultanas, sugar and treacle.
- Cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Season, then simmer for 1 hour until very thick. Add the remaining vinegar, then remove from the heat. Spoon into sterilised jars (see tips, right) and seal. Once cooled, the chutney will keep in a dark, cool place for up to a year.
- Serve with crusty bread and cheese or cold meat for a perfect lunch, accompanied by a glass of chilled cider.
