Chutney

When the man on the fruit and veg stall in the market is selling a tray of tomatoes for two pounds, there's only one thing you can do.


Based roughly on this recipe.

Ingredients-
2.7kg (6lb) RipeTomatoes
450g (1lb) Onions
350g (12oz) Sugar
300ml (½ pint) Malt Vinegar
(and a little bit of white balsamic vinegar)
25g (1oz) Salt
2 tsp Paprika
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper Bunch of coriander

Wash and chop the tomatoes, peel and chop the onions.
Place the tomatoes and onions into a heavy bottomed saucepan, cook gently to release the tomato juices, simmer for 20 - 30 minutes until tender.


Add the salt, paprika, cayenne coriander and half of the vinegar, cook gently for 45 minutes or until it begins to thicken.


Add the sugar and remaining vinegar, stirring until fully dissolved.


Continue simmering, until the mixture becomes thick, stirring occasionally.


Leave for 3 - 5 weeks to allow the flavour to mature


Right, like it's going to last that long in this house.
