Green Tomato Chutney
The answer to the problem of what to do with tomatoes that refuse to ripen is to make this lightly spiced, smooth chutney, which goes well with cheese and all cold meats.
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooking apples peeled, cored and finely chopped
- 8 oz onions skinned and finely chopped
- 3 lb green tomatoes thinly sliced
- 8 oz sultanas
- 8 oz demerara sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 3/4 pint malt vinegar
- 4 small pieces of dried root ginger
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp mustard powder
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a preserving pan. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are tender, reduced to a thick consistency and no excess liquid remains.
- Remove the ginger, spoon the chutney into preheated jars and cover at once with airtight, vinegar-proof tops.
