Thanks for this great recipie !!!!

I did tweek it a bit ( Cooking is an art not a science ) by using 50/50 mix of malt & tarragon vinegars oh and a few cayennes minus the seeds..

What you didnt warn about however is not only did it clear my sinuses whilst cooking but nearly cleared the whole building, to the extent of you could smell it cooking three storeys down in the carpark…

Will leave it a few weeks and try it out on my local club for the elderly ( They have chip shop dinners supplied by club funds once a month ), am sure that 80 plus elderly ladies will either give me the thumbs up or thumbs down ….

Best Regards

Chris

Really please i gave this a go.. gave some to my partner (and considering he doesnt like dried fruit) it was gone within 2 days and was trying to get me to turn my windowsil ripening toms into chutney!! dead pleased with it! i did substitute the malt to cider vinegar and used dried apricots (i thought that i could cleverly disguise them easier then sultanas sneeky eh?) and even better iv just stripped my plants again today (all the tiny ones seem to of had a growth spurt so i have enough to start cooking up another batch

This is probably the best recipe I have ever used for all those pesky green tomatoes! Tastes good already and it’s not really matured to its full potential yet!
Tried a batch with some home grown green chillis in too – wow, you’ve just got to try it!

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I made a half dozen jelly jars filled with green tomato chutney today. It tasted delicious when it was done cooking – I’m sure it will improve further with some aging.

Many thanks for the fab recipe. Just made 1.5 times your amount.

Just on the ripening of green tomatoes. I have tons this year and find the best way to ripen them slowly is to put them in a box (or drawer or other enclosed container) and cover them. They gradually ripen beautifully which means you could have an ongoing supply of red tomatoes (for red tomato jam?) for weeks. Putting a ripe apple in with a 100% green load helps to start off the ripening process. It is all to do with natural gases rather than the sun.

Hey there,

Thanks so much for this recipe. All the best recipes begin with “put all the ingredients in a large pan” ^_^

I halved the recipe (not enough green toms, would you believe?!) and now have two jars of the most incredible chutney. I varied the recipe slightly by using cider vinegar plus a good slosh of balsamic vinegar. My goodness it’s good stuff.

Thank you so so much for sharing this recipe. My partner has just announced (after fighting with me to lick the pan clean) that we aren’t allowed to let any of our tomatoes ripen next year, so that I can make loads of this. Haha!

Thanks for the receipe, I got lots of green tomatoes this year, as my two year old daughter decided it was time to harvest them!
