STEP BY STEP

Method

  1. 1

    Peel, core and dice the apples. Halve and stone the damsons where practical; finely chop the onion.

  2. 2

    Put all ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring gently to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Cook uncovered over low heat for 45–55 minutes, stirring increasingly often, until thick and glossy with no watery liquid pooling.

  4. 4

    Cool, spoon into very clean containers, cover and refrigerate. This is a refrigerator chutney, not a shelf-stable canning recipe.

FOSTER'S TIP

Do not reduce the vinegar or sugar if you want the intended flavour and texture.

HOW TO SERVE

Serve with cheese, sandwiches, cold meats or savoury pies.

STORAGE & REHEATING

Keep refrigerated and use within 2 weeks. Use a clean spoon each time and discard if mould, fizzing or an off smell develops.

ALLERGENS

No major allergens in the listed ingredients.
