Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb Plums -- halved and stoned
1 lb Apples -- peeled and cored
1 lb Tomatoes -- chopped
1 lb Onions -- sliced
2 lg Garlic cloves -- chopped
3 c Sultanas -- (raisins)
1/4 ts Mace
1/4 ts Ground mixed spice
2 tb Ground ginger
1 lb Light brown sugar

Mix the fruit and vegetables together. Put into an
preserving pan (Note: these books call for an aluminum
pan - I just don't use aluminum with acid food ) Add
the remaining ingredients, except the sugar. Simmer
for about 30 minutes until tender. Add the sugar and
stir until dissolved. Simmer gently, stirring
frequently, until thick. (Note: how long this takes
depends on the water content of the fruits). Cool,
then pack the chutney into clean jars. Cover and
seal. PS: I always refrigerate after opening the jar.
"Gathering the produce of the season as the days
shorten, as the sun travels lower in the sky and the
earth quietens, is a deeply satisfying pastime.
Making the most of the produce is a pleasure, too, and
this chutney brings several of the fruits of the
season together in a mouthwatering way.
