Easy fruit chutney recipe

Serves: Makes about 1kg

Total Time: 1 hour 45 mins

Ingredients

500g fresh plums, stoned and chopped
1 apple, cored, peeled and chopped
250g pears, cored, peeled and chopped
500g muscovado sugar
1 onion, chopped
250ml (1 cup) cider vinegar
45ml (3 tbsp) fresh ginger, chopped
5ml (1 tsp) mustard seeds
10ml (2 tsp) ground coriander
1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
salt, to taste
1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a large pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.

Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chutney is reduced and thickened, about 1 hour30 minutes. It will thicken more once it is cooled so don’t worry if it is a little liquid.

Discard the cinnamon stick and pour the hot chutney into jars. It will keep for up to a year if well sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.
