George asked for our recipe for apple chutney. These are the ingredients Anthea normally uses: -
3lbs peeled, cored and finely chopped apples; 1 lb finely sliced onions; 1 ½ lbs sugar; ¼ lb crystallized ginger; ¼ teaspoonful of cayenne pepper; 2 cloves garlic; I desert spoonful od salt ½ pint vinegar; allspice.
Over many years experience she doesn’t weigh things, does it more and more by eye and throws in all sorts of things like sultanas, cloves as the fancy takes her. She sometimes uses small pieces of root ginger rather than the crystallized sort and sometimes omits the garlic. The results vary from year to year but are always nice.
