  • Tomato chutney

    The recipe also used green tomatoes, and used white wine vinegar, we tried the 'alternate' version.

    Red or Green, Tomato chutney

    1kg red tomatoes, de-seeded and roughly chopped (or green tomatoes)
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    400 ml red wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar with green toms)
    300g sugar
    1 chilli (optional - we used a lemon drop)
    1/2 tsp salt

    Spice mixture:
    1 tsp black peppercorns
    1 tsp black (brown) mustard seeds
    1/2 tsp allspice
    3 green cardamon pods
    8 cloves garlic
    2cm piece ginger


    1. Blend the spice mixture up, with 2 tbsp of vinegar, in food processor.
    2. Place tomatoes, onion and remaining vinegar in large pan and simmer until softened.
    3. Add sugar and cook for about 10 minutes at a simmer.
    4. Add the spice mixture, chilli and salt
    5. Cook until thickens and pour into sterilised jars.

    Makes about 1kg, about 3x jam-jars worth.



    Made this yesterday using ananas noire tomatoes, it already tastes really nice, but still will let it mature!

    Does it matter if I use the yellow mustard seeds as I can't locate any brown ones locally?
    Excuse me, could we have an eel? You've got eels down your leg.

      Will be a slightly different flavour, more mustard flavour. But can't see that it wouldn't go well?

      You can black mustard seeds from Indian shops or ebay, I sometimes get stuff off there because we're nowhere near indian shops.

      We put them in our pickles too, great in pickled onions/shallots. Obviously also good for curries.

        Thank you for the info Manda. I spent way too long scanning the spice shelf in Morrisons and concluded that either I was going blind or Morrisons spice range was woefully inadequate.

        They did have very reasonably priced Red Wine Vinegar though (85p for 450ml).

        I'll get some mustard seeds off ebay. ;p
