This one is so easy I have just posted on your other thread about my 100th jar so far this year, since starting chutneys and jams

I am addicted cant get enough, other 32 year olds are out on the tiles and I am at home making chutney, just wish hubby would eat faster

Now with pics, fellow chutney bums will understand the jam pan pics it has to be done  :oops:

[custardcreams]

nice piccies, they illustrate the magical chutney transition process well.

100 jars :shock: i hope i don't get quite as into chutney making as you, my flat is too small to store it...

I cant stop, no-one told me it was addictive  

I have given some away to family but they laugh every time they come over as they go home with half a dozen jars

Just done a stock take LMAO on my jars to see how its going, I must be mad but I cant stop looking at it  :shock: (note to self GET OUT MORE )

i'm wanting to give some of my chutney to my parents, only since it was my first ever batch i'm getting paranoid that i haven't sterilised properly or something and my chutney will end up killing someone :shock: perhaps i should test it on someone annoying at work first.

I'd never made a jar of chutney until this year - now I'm obsessed, I just love it.  I sold a bunch a while back for a fundraiser, my neighbours really enjoyed them and have placed loads of orders for Christmas Presents.  I've packaged them up in little jute gift bags and they look lovely.    

It's nice to have something creative to do when you cant get out into the garden.

I made loads of HFW's Gluttoney Chutney and it's gorgeous. I stirred some into a sausage casserole to give it some spice and it worked really well

Your chutters looks delish. Your plums I hope     if not, maybe next year
