Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a large saucepan and place on the hob on a medium heat.
- Stir occasionally to prevent it sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Whilst your chutney is gently heating, prepare your spice bag.
- Place your spices into the centre of your square, bring the corners together and tie with a piece of string.
- Place your spice bag in the centre of your mixture and push it down into the chutney.
- Simmer your chutney for 2-3 hours until it starts to darken, thicken, reduce and the ingredients have softened.
- Your chutney is ready when you can drag a wooden spoon through your chutney to reveal the bottom of the pan.
- Remove your chutney from the heat and discard the spice bag. Then leave to cool before placing it into sterilised jars and sealing.
- If possible, leave your chutney to mature for at least two weeks before eating.
- This is a perfect chutney for cheese and cold meats.
