Spiced Apple Chutney
This recipe is great to have around the home at Christmas time but is also perfect for Christmas gifts!
It’s a great way to spend a lovely winter’s afternoon and isn’t as time consuming as you may first think, it’s actually incredibly enjoyable.
Ruth shows you that making chutney is a quick and easy process of cooking chopped autumn fruit with flavourings and spices, sugar and vinegar. This will make a rich chutney that will see you through for months or you can give as a gift to someone special.
Chutneys are best left to mature for a couple of months before eating because the acids from the vinegar soften and the fruit flavours have time to meld and become more complex.
Home-made chutney is a great staple for the larder and is more useful than you might think. Chutneys can be enjoyed with sharp, mature cheddar and other hard cheeses.
