I made this chutney today and it is wonderful, in fact it was quite edible today! It was very easy to make and all ingredients were readily accessible. The recipe made 7 half pint jars. My only substitutes were one fresh chopped jalepeno pepper instead of the cayenne pepper and I added one teaspoon of curry powder. I put the chutney in the jars, put on the lids and processed them in boiling water until the lids popped.
Thank you for the recipe. We will be enjoying it with Christmas dinner.

Hi, great recipes, just one question about this one – could I use desert apples? There is a tree heaving with bright red apples in a neighbours garden and they are just letting them drop! Do you have any other recipes for deserts? Many thanks

Hi,
What's the consensus on which vinegar to use please? White Wine? Apple or just plain Malt? Would be grateful to know please, I'm making some for a fundraiser and want it to be yummy.
Yes, this site is fantastic, just made my first two batches of Runner Bean Chutney and it's delicious already! Thank you!
