Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a jam pan or large saucepan.
- Stir the contents over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Crank up the heat and let the mixture reach a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer.
- Continue to cook uncovered for 1¼ hours or until the chutney has thickened. Do give it a stir every now and then to prevent the food from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

- Label the jars, then let the chutney mature for at least a month before opening. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can easily substitute the dates with sultanas, raisins or black currants.
