Red Tomato Chutney

I have quite a glut of tomatoes so decided to make up a recipe for chutney.

1 kilo of tomatoes roughly chopped

150g sugar

300ml of vinegar

4 medium onions chopped

2 apples peeled and chopped

100g sultanas

1 tablespoon of hot curry powder

2 red chillies deseeded and chopped

Pile all ingredients into a pan and simmer for an hour. Turn up the heat and boil, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes. Leave the lid off and continue simmering until the mixture is dark and very thick.

Sterilize some jars and pour the mixture in.

Sloe Chutney

1kg sloes
2 chopped onions
1 chopped chilli
450g brown sugar
225g seedless raisins
1 stick cinnamon
1 teaspoon whole cloves
300 ml malt vinegar

Wash sloes and put into a pan, cover tightly and cook on a low heat until realy soft. Pass through a sieve.

Add the spices to the puree and add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to the boil, stirring well until the sugar has dissolved . Simmer gently for 30 minutes. Pot and seal. Store at least two months before use. A pleasant, mild chutney.

I made about 6 small jars with this recipe and it was a lovely tasty chutney to have with left over cook turkey.
