Eastern Chutney (Chillies)

This is a really hot one, and remember to always wear fine rubber gloves when making.

3lbs apples
1 quart french wine vinegar
2oz garlic
1/2lb green ginger
1/2lb seedless raisins
1/2lb fresh chillies
1/2lb mustard seeds
1lb brown sugar
1pint water
4oz salt

Peel and cut apples and boil in half vinegar, crush garlic, grate ginger, chop raisins  and chillies (last 4 can be done together in processor)  Crush mustard seed with pestle and mortar or rolling pin.
With a pint of water and sugar, make syrup.   Lay apples in a bowl and sprinkle wih salt and other ingredients, add the syrup and the rest of the vinegar, along with vinegar from cooked apples.  Bottle and seal.
It is best after keeping a few months as it mellows and the uncooked ingredients become blended in soft. :evil: Mrs.Bouquet
