Fresh fig chutney. Does anyone have a

good recipe for chutney. I have quite a few ripe figs in the fridge ready to make chutney. Have pickled some and made some jam.
The granny smith apples I used did not mash up, so I am a bit
disappointed with that as they have just stayed in cooked cubes.

Thanks allspices. I presume that I do not cook the figs with the vinegar, but just pour it over everything.

clair4, after the overnight thing, cook all together until thick and dark. Good luck.
