Apple Chutney


I have been looking for ways to use the large amount of apple I got from my uncles orchard. 
I have made cider, used them in juicing, apple tarts and now chutney!
And I still have loads left, the pigs might get them before I use them all up!


1kg apples
300g onions
150g raisins
300-400 ml vinegar, to taste
300-400g sugar, to taste 
Salt
Mixed spice
Coriander


Add all the ingredients to a pot and allow to gently simmer for 2-4 hrs with the lid off.
Stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom. 
Once it has turned a rich dark colour and has reduced down, spoon it hot into clean jam jars and seal the lids. 
Once it cools, the lids should pop down, a sign of a good seal. 

Allow to mature for 2-3 months before use. 
It gives a yummy kick to cheese or cold meat !

  1. Have you tried making apple butter? You start by making apple sauce, this then boiled down and some spices added. But maybe check Google for some recipes.
