unbelievable got the local paper and it had green tomatoe chutney and relish recipes in it.
So i substituted the tomatoes for plums instead and have acid free tomatoes still green diced and through a few of those into, along with the spices etc. and it turned out fabulous and delightful. so proud of myself and will be trying to make plum sauce tommorow.
so fingers crossed for that.

Make a plum compote, it is beautiful chilled and served for breakfast. I have a recipe for boozy plums if you would like it. It makes a delightful plum drink AND then the boozy plums to serve as a dessert. You can make plum jam, plum sauce, add them to rhubarb and make a crumble.

budrose can you post your recipe for the tomatoe/plum chutney you made! I too have lots of plums in the freezer and have bottled some but would like to try some chutney as well.

Hi made plum sauce as well through early hours this morning and tastes great.
I didnt have a preserving pan, so I used a kambrook long and deep fryingpan. 4 medium sized onions diced finely 2kg of plums 6 medium green tomatoes (roughly diced) 1 cup of sultanas into pot all together add 2 1/4 cups of vinegar ( I used the malt vinegar) 1 teaspoon of salt 3 cups of brown sugar 3 dessert spoons of pickling spices (tied into a small piece of cloth into a parcel and put in.
bring to boil (dont add water) bring to boil nthen simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the chutney is thickened but not tacky dry (moist). a small amount of liquid is left.
remove spice bag and plum stones, spoon into hot sterilised jars and seal immediately.
Plum sauce
i just used the same measurements but only used
plums onions vinegar sugar pickling spices in spice bag extra 2 dessert spoons of ground cloves. dont exactly the same method sieved the mixture prior to bottling made a lovely smooth running sauce.

Isaac Strege / I'm impressed, I must say. Really rleary do I encounter a blog that's both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
