Ingredients
300g courgettes (weighed topped and tailed)
250g ready-to-eat dried apricots
250g cooking apples, cored (peeled weight)
225g red onions (peeled weight)
1 level tsp ground ginger
1?2 level tsp ground allspice
1?2 level tsp salt
300ml bottle distilled white malt vinegar
250g granulated sugar
Method
1
Cut the courgettes, apricots and apples into 1?2cm pieces. Chop the onions.
2
Put all the ingredients in a very large saucepan or preserving pan and cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Boil gently for 35-45 minutes, stirring often until it is the consistency of chutney. When it’s ready, a wooden spoon dragged across the base of the pan will leave a clear path that takes a few seconds to cover over.
3
About 20 minutes before the chutney is ready, wash some jars and lids in hot soapy water, then rinse well. Put in the oven for 15 minutes at 140C/120C Fan/Gas 1 to sterilise.
4
Fill the jars with the chutney and put on the lids. Keep in a cupboard for at least 6 weeks before using.
