Spiced Apple Chutney |
|
|
|
The best apples to use are traditional Bramley cookers as they pulp so well. These are still grown in the orchard at Wightwick as they have been since the Victorian gardens were laid out.
Rcipes from Wightwick Manor, Wolverhampton (a National Trust property)
Ingredients
Four lbs cooking apples
Two lbs onions
One pint white vinegar
4oz sultanas
Two tsps cinnamon
One tsp ground ginger
Two pinches ground cloves
One tblsp salt
Two lbs white sugar
Method
Peel and core the apples and slice into a large heavy-based pan.
Add peeled and finely chopped onions, all spices, salt and vinegar.
Bring to the boil, place lid on the pan, then simmer for about 30 minutes until the fruit becomes pulp.
Add sugar and sultanas and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Boil and stir for a further 20 minutes until the chutney reaches the desired consistency and no liquid lies on the surface.
Pour into sterilised jars and use a vinegar-proof lid to seal. |
