Beetroot,Apple and Ginger chutney

[Guest wanted]

Just made this Chutney, I love it, sat in the warm, my lady has gone to the pub so I've poured a large port, found the Stilton and crackers and blobbed a healthy lump of this on.

 

6 largish uncooked beetroot

4 cooking apples

2 onions

handful of grated ginger

3/4 of a bag of soft brown sugar

1 pint of cider vinegar

 

dice apples,onions and beetroot

Bung all in big pan and bring to the boil, turn to a simmer for about 2 hours until beetroot is softish and then increase the heat to reduce the liquid. Chutney ready when you can draw a wooden spoon across the bottom of the pan and the liquid parts, leaving a clear channel for a few seconds. will firm up when set.

 

Happy happy joy joy

I wish I'd seen this when I was making the xmas pressies, last week.

 

I'll definitely be making some for personal use, though.

 

Oh and please, please, please can you correct the error in your sig (it's "soar")

oops, blimey sounds like that's bothered you for a while, I'm a self confessed dyslexic with a reliance on spell checker!

 

This winter has inspired me to start making chutney and Jam, next up is chilli jam, I'll post it up if successful.

 

(that had a few wobbly red lines I can tell thee!)

Chilli jam sounds wonderful, please post if it turned out well.

I'm sure you'll get it right, but, even if you don't like it, post anyway, then we can all have a play

 

SWMBO is already in the kitchen starting on your chutney

Just bumping this one up as a reminder for any one wishing to make this for presents. I have just made a batch and I think by xmas it will have matured properly. All my gifts this year have been made onboard, sloe gin, damson gin, rasberry vodka, blackberry vodka, chutney and chilli jam. Still trying to talk miss wanted into letting me build a cider press on board but she's using the old 'space' excuse again! Have fun
