      Can someone please tell me what sort of vinegar I need to use; I still haven't actually made the chutney, but the toms have been in salt since yesterday, so guess what I'm doing this afternoon...

        Use cider or white/red wine vinegar Waffler - the colour is better and also the taste slightly less vinegary than the usual malt.

            This year I'm using distilled malt vinegar for similar reasons. I can't always get hold of decent quantities of white wine or cider vinegar.

            It's definitely lighter and you don't get all the vinegar fumes in the kitchen.

              I used white malt vinegar - didn't think of white wine vinegar.

              Looks lovely though and we had a bit of a taste tonight. Really yummy and nice and not too hot. EB did you put the seeds from the chilli's in?

                    Yes generally very mild. I don't have an asbestos mouth or stomach and prefer flavour to heat.

                      Been looking for a green tom chutney recipe for ages. Can't wait to try this one on next day off work.
                      Thanks Earthbabe

                        How long does it keep after the jar's been opened? I was going to make some up in some big kilner jars I've got but they must hold at least a pint so was wondering if I'd get through all that before it went off.

                        I was thinking of scrounging jam jars from people at work if it would be better to use smaller containers. I've responsibly put all mine in the recycling box - I really ought to think ahead a bit more

                            We had our first taste last night - oooh lovely! Has to be the best chutney I have ever made. Thanks Earthbabe.

                              Made this on the weekend....never stopped to think about how much I'd be making...(I had double the amount of toms) even when I had to put the mix into two pans for cooking. Wasn't till I was running out of jars that I realised how much chutney I had. 5.5 litres later & I think I'm done for the season!!!

                              Sounds ok by its self but when you add it to the apple chutney, plum chutney and two lots of cucumber relish I can now understand the look on my husbands face!!!!

Made this last year for the first time. It has kept very well even after opening and tastes fantastic with pretty much anything. Other green tomato chutnies I have tried pale into insignificance beside this one.

                                Happy eating.

                                When you sterilise your kilner jars, do you do the rubber seal too? Is it ok to go in the oven to dry with the jars?
