Tomato chilli and courgette chutney

Post: # 28355Post Luath »

I make this most years, as I usually have plenty of each.

3lbs marrow/courgettes, peeled and diced finely


1 lb tomatoes
8 oz apples, peeled and chopped
8 oz onions, chopped fine
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
6 oz or so sultanas, raisins, etc
1 lb sugar
1 pint vinegar
salt to taste
spices - mustard, ginger, etc to taste
chilli powder or chopped fresh chilli to taste.

Put everything intp preserving pan, cook over lowish to medium heat until theickend - a wooden spoon drawn across the pan will leave a gap between the sides if chutney. Put into hot jars and seal. Store 4 months before using.

Hi Luath,
that recipe sounds delicious. Two questions:
1. How many jars per batch?
2. Roughly how long do the contents last on opening?
