Fruit and Chile Chutney

 

Ingredients for 1 servings:
1. 2 cups dried chopped pitted prunes
2. 3 cups cider vinegar
3. 2 tablespoons lime juice
4. 2 cups brown sugar
5. 2 teaspoons colemans mustard powder
6. 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
7. 1 teaspoon salt
8. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
9. 2 cups ready washed dried seedless raisins
10. 12 small chilies, stems and seeds removed,chopped (such as cayennes or serranos – or your favourite home grown ones, as I used)
11. 4 cups chopped tart apples
12. 2 cups chopped onions
13. 2 cups peeled chopped tomatoes

Directions:
1. Mix the vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar, mustard powder, cinnamon, salt and cumin in a large lidded pan and bring to the boil.
2. Add the prunes, raisins, chiles, apples, onions and tomatoes; bring the mixture back to the boil then cover.
3. Keep the mixture simmering briskly, stir frequently, for about 20 minutes or until the mixture has reached the right consistency (you can check for this by pushing a large spoon over the base of the pan; the spoon will briefly leave a track showing the bottom of the pan).
4. Pour into clean, sterilised jars and seal.
5. The chutney will taste better for keeping for 2 months before using.
