During the colonial era, the British adopted it, and generations have made it. This&nbsp;chutney is my basic go to recipe, it really goes well with cheese or cold sliced chicken or meats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>570ml (19floz) malt vinegar<br>450g (1lb) brown sugar<br>300g (10\u00bdoz) sultanas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>300g (10.1\/2 oz) chopped dates<br>15g (\u00bdoz) fresh ginger<br>2 red chillies, deseeded chopped<br>2kg (4\u00bdlb) tomatoes, roughly chopped<br>500g (1lb 2oz) apples, I use granny smiths, or peeled, cored, and chopped<br>400g (14oz) shallots, or red onions roughly chopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 bay leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 cloves of garlic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 cinnamon stick<br>\u00bd teaspoon sea salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Put the vinegar and sugar in a large pan and bring to the boil, then boil to reduce a little. Add the sultanas plus the dates continue to reduce down until the mixture starts to caramelise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Add all the other ingredients and bring back to the boil. Cook, stirring all the time, for 45 minutes up to an hour until thick. The chutney should be a little chunky, not smooth,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Allow to cool, then pack the chutney into sterilised jars and seal. Store in a cool place or the fridge. Do not serve for 4 weeks to allow the chutney to mature If unopened, the chutney can be kept for up to four months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homemade Tomato, Apple, and Date Chutney, At this time of year, I always make chutney, I can\u2019t remember when I started doing it, but it\u2019s something I enjoy doing, and my family &amp; friends love receiving jars of homemade chutney.
