Last of the tomatoes


This summer has been a good one for our tomatoes, we've had lots of little cherry tomatoes from the greenhouse and the beefsteak tomatoes I grew outdoors in the new raised beds are large and juicy. Now there is a chill in the air at night and the glorious sunny days are disappearing I need to preserve some of these 'fruits' for the shorter days ahead. Green tomato chutney! I remember making pots of this many years ago to go with English Cheddar and Jacob's Cream Crackers for supper treats.



I like the sound of this one from www.allotment.org.uk

Green Tomato Chutney

  • 500g green tomatoes
  • 500g red onion
  • 250g sultanas
  • 250g brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp ground green cardamom
  • 500ml Malt vinegar
Method:

Chop everything up, no need for a perfection, and put it in a good heavy based pan .

Bring it to the boil and then turn down the heat , simmer for about an hour until reduced to a thick pulp.

Spoon into sterilised jars and enjoy after standing for a while to let flavours develop.

Enjoy!
