INSTRUCTIONS

 

1. Wash the jam jars with hot soapy water and sterilise in the oven at 100ºC for 30 minutes

2. Wash and pat dry the apples.

3. Peel, core and chop the apples into small dice. Save the skin and the cores to make apple cider vinegar.

4. Finely chop red onions.

5. In a heavy bottom pot, add all the ingredients and bring to a boil and stir until the sugar has dissolved. It will take about 20 minutes.

6. Turn down the heat and simmer for about 90 minutes, often stirring, so that nothing gets stuck in the bottom of the pot.

7. Cook the chutney until it is thick, and you can draw a spoon across the pot's base with a spatula leaving a channel that does not fill with liquid, indicating the chutney is ready.

8. Pour into sterilised jars while it's warm, cool a bit and then seal the jar shut.

9. Store in a cool dark cupboard or refrigerate for two months before eating if possible.
