Scale
- 2kg (4lb) oranges
- 1.5L (6 cups) malt vinegar
- 500g (1lb) onion, finely chopped
- 1kg (2lb) apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 250g (1/2 lb) sultanas
- 250g (1/2 lb) dates, pitted and chopped
- 18g (1 tbsp) salt
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5cm (2in) fresh ginger root, grated
- 5g (1 tbsp) cayenne pepper
- 1kg (2lb) brown sugar
Instructions
- Wash the oranges, then peel them. Remove as much of the white pith as possible. Discard the pips. Shred the peel and pulp, pretending you’re making marmalade.
- Place the orange peel, pulp and vinegar in a large saucepan. Leave covered overnight or for several hours.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the orange mixture.
- 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 1 hour 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.
- Spoon into hot, sterilised jars. Seal and then let it cool down.
- Label the jars, then let the chutney mature for at least a month before opening. Enjoy!
