Nice autumn chutney great with cheese or cold meats. Inspired by a recipe on the bbc good food website, I changed a few of the ingredients to my own taste.

Steps

1

Very finely chop the onion, add to a heavy base saucepan with a dash of olive oil and cook for 5 minutes to soften the onion, don't burn it!
2

Add the garlic, ginger and chilli, cook for further 5 minutes stirring so as not to burn the garlic or onion.
3

Add all other ingredients to the pan, bring to a simmer and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently so it dosnt stick to the bottom.
4

Taste it a few times during cooking and adjust to your own taste, mine was a bit sweet initially but a few more drops of vinegar and a pinch of pepper made it perfect.
5

When cooled, add to jars and refriderate. Should keep for about 4 weeks.
