- With apologies to those who find an apple a day too much...
-
- Somebody asked me - I forget whom - for Geraldine's recipe, made up
- out of her own head (as she says), for chutney. We take our curry
- seriously (with a good vintage cider), and this has won prizes. Goes
- wonderfully with cheese too - anyone heard of a ploughman's lunch? One
- of England's real contributions to the good things of life:- big hunk
- of cheddar or something like it, huge pickled onion, some butter,
- perhaps a really good tomato, and whopping thick lump of bread or a
- good crisp roll; and a big spoonful of pickle (=chutney).
-
- Sorry no metric measures: but 1 lb = 16 ounces; 8 pints = 1 imperial
- gallon.
-
- 5 lb apples
- 1 lb onions, prepared weight
- 6 oz chopped dates
- 12 oz sultanas
- 1.5 lb brown sugar
- 2 pints vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- """""""""" cinnamon
- 1.5 oz salt
- 3 chillies
- 2 garlic bulbs
- some tamarind
-
- Core, peel, cut up the apples. Chop up the onions and dates. Dissolve
- the sugar in the vinegar in a preserving pan. When it's dissolved, add
- the rest and cook over a low heat, stirring, till the liquid is driven
- off and it's a nice chutney-type, even, mix.
-
- Bottle in warmed screw-top bottles. Win prizes at the local country
- show.
-
- Message ends.....
-
- Cheers!
