Can I ask, please, how long before this chutney is ready to eat, how long will it keep before opening and after opening?
Thanks
Val @ 6:49 pm
I'd keep it for at least 3 months before you use it as it allows the vinegary taste to go. As for keeping, at least 12 months but I've found it fine even after a couple of years.

Thanks, Val!

maureen webb @ 1:12 pm
great easy recipe, made it yesterday, but one query? how long does it take to cook , no mention of this in recipe. i had a real problem trying to get it to thicken even after simmering for 1 1/2 hours and gave up in the end and bottled it !!! but still looks quite runny — i was very precise with measuring out the ingredients so that cannot be the reason —– help !!!

Patience is a virtue with chutney! It can take a couple of hours.

Can I use freshly grated root ginger instead of ground (dried I presume) ginger?
jean geary @ 1:38 pm
I make lots of jam and chutney and like you my family and friends love it and want more. I have tried to give them the recipe but I still end up doing it.
stacey @ 1:13 pm
Hi , I made this chutney 2 wks ago jarred it, just looked at them not set. Is it safe to reboil and resterilise jars? The chutney is a muddy brown colour. Think should have left it longer.
Val @ 1:41 pm
It is possible to rescue the chutney by tipping it back into the pan, bringing to the boil again and simmering until the liquid disappears. Re-pot into cleaned and re-sterilised jars.
stacey @ 2:50 pm
Thank you val you're a star !! Going to try the green tomato chutney too !
