Does it make much difference to chutney which you use, im using the cheap ASDA value stuff at the moment, or should i use a pricier product

Thanks Paul

It has to be at least 5% stuff - read Val's book for really good tips like this.

5% of what, its only got spirit vinegar and malt extract in it according to the label

Over 5% acidic content. If it's not on the jar, it'll be under that. You need it to be that strength for it's preserving qualities.

Does that mean ive got 20 jars of useless chutney

I doubt it. You will just have to eat it quicker as it won't store as well.
