1 lb (450 g) cooking apples
1 lb (450 g) mushrooms

2 oz (56 g) root ginger
8 oz (225 g) raisins or sultanas
1 pint (570 ml)  vinegar
1 lb (450 g) brown sugar


De-seed the pepper and chop finely. Peel and chop the onion. Put into a pan with about ½ pint (285 ml) water. Simmer to soften.
Peel, core and chop the apples. Wash and coarsely chop the mushrooms. Skin and chop the tomatoes.
Add the apples, mushrooms and tomatoes to the peppers and onion and continue cooking.
Grate the root ginger and add to the pan.  Stew until tender.
Add the sugar, raisins or sultanas and vinegar and stir until the sugar has has dissolved.
Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer and stir occasionally, to prevent sticking.
Continue to simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and the chutney is thick.
Pot into hot, clean, sterilized jars immediately and seal.

All chutneys benefit from maturing. It will be better if you store it for about 3 months, it gets rid of the vinegary taste. But you can eat it near enough straight away.
