Background

The following Christmas chutney is a lovely festive condiment, ideal as a Christmas gift. It's very simple to make and can be used in various ways - with nibbles, cheese, cold cuts of meat and so on. Try to make this chutney at least two weeks before using it, to let flavours properly infuse.

Ingredients

750g green apple
1 medium onion
500g cranberries
150g pitted dates
2 tangerines or clementines
350g light muscovado sugar
½ tsp ground cloves
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
500 ml white wine vinegar

Instructions

Peel, core and the dice the apples, peel & roughly chop the onion. Zest the mandarins, squeeze their juice out then chop the flesh coarsely. Put aside the juice.
Put everything into a large, heavy-based pan, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently at a very low temperature for about 1 hour, until you get a thick, sticky jam.
Spoon the chutney into cold, sterilized jars and seal well.
Store in a cool place, and then in the fridge after opening.
