Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp black mustard seeds
1 tbsp fenugreek seeds
2 tsp ground ginger
2 large onions, finely chopped
2kg Bramley apples, peeled, cored and cut into small chunks
500g sultanas
1 tbsp salt
600g light soft brown sugar
750ml malt or cider vinegar OR a mix of the two

Essential kit

You will need 6–8 X 450G jars with vinegarproof lids, sterilised.

Method

Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan or preserving pan and fry the black mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds until they start to pop. Stir in the ground ginger and onion and cook for 5 minutes until the onion is softened.

Add the rest of the ingredients and cook over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat again and simmer for 1–1½ hours until thickened.

Remove from the heat, then spoon the chutney into 6–8 sterilised 450g jars and seal. Set aside to cool completely. Leave to mature in a cool, dark place for a few weeks before eating. The chutney will keep for up to a year.
