I can't give credit as the source of this is lost in time ! I have done this for 30 odd years

2lbs cooking apples
2lbs ripe tomatoes
2lbs onions
8 ounces sultanas
half ounce of pickling spice
1 ounce dry mustard powder
2 teaspoons of salt
1 pnt of vinegar (I use malt)
1lb of black treacle

normal method not forgetting to remove the spice bag (as I did once  )

That looks good! I made a Tom and Apple chutney recently but subbed eating apples for the required cookers but the texture just isn't right, it needed the cookers to breakdown- I will remember that the next time!

This pickling spice do you buy that as a pickling spice or make it up. I have only ever used seperates 

[MrsLev]

You can buy it in the spices section at the supermarket, I think Schwartz do one. I mostly use deprecated for chutney but have used the mix for pickle before

[Beetroot Queen]

Brilliant thanks
Also does the treacle go in at the start or near the end.

I will be giving it a go

Toms are chopped in t he pan for this one just need to pop to the supermarket as i am missing half the stuff  i alwayd start before i check supplies.

Also got another pan ready with 2 kg of toms in for my other chutney plus a third pan waiting for runner beans once i get everyone napping when they should.

I must be mad. No.......... I am mad. I even have the straight jacket to prove it. If only i could fasten it on my own and then call for collection i'd be sorted

I skin the toms but not sure it is essential 

[Sparkyrog]

it all goes in in one go BQ 

[Beetroot Queen]

Thanks will have a go.

Forgot to say it's much easier if you put the tin of black treacle  in a bowl of hot water that thins it down !

I tried this SPICY TOMATO CHUTNEY during the week (double because of all the tomatoes I've got). It's very tasty.
Can't remember/find where I found it.

750g red tomatoes peeled and diced
2 red peppers deseeded and diced
2 medium onions diced
2 cloves crushed garlic
300g demerara sugar
400 ml malt vinegar
1 tsp celery/sea salt
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp mustard seeds
Bring everything to the boil and simmer until right consistency is reached.
For extra hot chutney 2 red chillies can be added.
This took about 1 1/2 hours of cooking.

I am out of red toms now unless some greens turn.

My house smells like a chutney factory. Hehe beetroot on the go now, pans are linned up waiting for their turn.  stop tempting me into another chutney 

[Fairy Plotmother]

But it's very gooooood!
