Re: Caramelised onion chutney with dates recipe needed pleas
I made some a couple of years ago, and followed this recipe very roughly. I didn't bother with the chillis or bay leaf, I put a spoonful of mustard seeds in instead. As long as you get the ratio of sugar and vinegar right-ish then you can experiment with what actually goes in. Even just onions with nothing else is lovely.
I've no idea what the difference is between pickle and chutney is either

I consulted Pam Corbin (River Cottage preserving book) and I think the confusion between a pickle and a chutney is Branston's fault, because what they call pickle, according to her, is more like a traditional chutney (which is in itself a British interpretation of an Indian condiment) whereas a traditional pickle is just veg preserved in vinegar, with seasoning and maybe a bit of sugar.

I thought the difference was that no one shouts at you when you're in a chutney.
