    Ingredients

    • 1 lb Plums, halved and stoned
    • 1 lb Apples, peeled and cored
    • 1 lb Tomatoes, minced
    • 1 lb Onions, sliced
    • 2 lrg Garlic cloves, minced
    • 3 c. Sultanas, (raisins)
    • 1/4 tsp Mace
    • 1/4 tsp Grnd mixed spice
    • 2 Tbsp. Grnd ginger
    • 1 lb Light brown sugar

    Directions

    1. Mix the fruit and vegetables together. Put into an preserving pan
    2. (Note: these books call for an aluminum pan - I just do not use aluminum with acid food ) Add in the remaining ingredients, except the sugar. Simmer for about 30 min till tender. Add in the sugar and stir till dissolved. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, till thick. (Note: how long this takes depends on the water content of the fruits). Cold, then pack the chutney into clean jars. Cover and seal.
    3. PS: I always chill after opening the jar. "Gathering the produce of the season as the days shorten, as the sun travels lower in the sky and the earth quietens, is a deeply satisfying pastime.
    4. Making the most of the produce is a pleasure, too, and this chutney brings several of the fruits of the season together in a mouthwatering way.
