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.
Slice the figs, chop dates, ginger and onions. Bring vinegar and sugar to the boil. Combine all other ingredients together in another saucepan. Pour hot vinegar mixture over, mix well and leave overnight. Next day, bring chutney to the boil and cook very slowly for about 3 hours, until it is thick and dark. Spoon into hat clean jars and seal. Makes about 1. 5 litres.

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.
