Having make green tomato chutney in the past, I was recently given 5kilo to make more but, having lost the recipe, spent ages trying to find a nice recipe on line. I used 2 1/2k to make the first batch, following an online recipe, but it is more like a tomato pickle, being quite sour. So back to the internet where I found your recipe which sounds very like the one I preciously use.. so thankyou, in advance. I'm sure it's going to be yum. My only prob now is changing lbs to k's!

I do canning but I am not sure of what you mean by sealing? <em>Donna: By sealing I simply mean screwing the lids on straight after you pour in the hot chutney. Once jars are cool check that the lids are on tight. That's all there is too it. Because of the high vinegar content and the long cooking the chutney keeps for years, unopened, on a shelf. I have some unopened jars that are 4 years old - I opened one recently and it was fine. The taste improved with keeping.</em> What is the sealing process?

The main thing I learned was to boil the mixture for long enough to let the tomato yeild it's sugars. Not sure this is correct chemistry but with sultanas and rasins in there you have enough sweetness anyway. I like to add 500gm of hot chilli peppers to my pan and a couple of carrots finely chopped to add texture. lotsa gtarlic of course and be sure to use a good malt vinegar not some crappy supermarket fancy brand.

I have so many green tomatoes leftover from the season and fried green tomatoes does not sound appetizing at all! I am going out today to buy the spices for the chutney which I can't wait to make. 2 questions: Who maufactures the jars shown in your photos above? I love the lids! Have you made the chutney in a slow cooker and if so did you have to adjust the recipe in any way? Thanks so much for the yummy recipe! <em>Jeannie: The jars come from a firm called Lakeland.
