The effort of this chutney is minimal, and all in the prep. Once you have chopped, sliced and diced, just put everything into a large pan, stir to combine and simmer for around 1.5 - 2 hours until you are approaching a consistency that you like.

Check the spicing and sweet/sour balance are to your liking and add a little more of anything that you think is lacking. DonaTMt worry if itaTMs not thickening up as much as you might like - it will thicken more as it cools.
3
When ready, transfer into sterilised jars. To sterilise your jars, just wash them in hot water and then put them in an oven heated to 130C for around 10-20 mins.

ou can eat this straight away with curries, chillies or cheese, or you can smother a ham in it before baking. The flavour will deepen within a few weeks and, kept in the fridge, it will last for months.
