Marrow chutney!

[trappa 518]

Just made this chutney. the pictures do not do it justice , it tastes divine and sooooo spicy!

Marrows and onions from my garden, if my tomatoes were a little quicker ripening they would be too!

Could you put up the recipe please. I have a few marrows here to use and that looks nice.

Ha, how did you guess fat ferret??

 

Recipe is:

 

3lb of marrow flesh after its been peeled and seeded

1lb of onion

1lb ripe tomatoes

1pint of vinegar

4oz sultanas

2 tsp allspice

2 tsp ground ginger

2 tablespoon salt

2 tsp black pepper

1lb brown sugar

Chop marrow flesh into small chunks, peel and chop onions and skin and slice tomatoes (i blanch toms to get skin off easier)

Put all this in large pan with half the vinegar and sultanas

Simmer until soft an pulpy and marrow can be squashed

Add spices, salt and pepper and simmer for another 15 mins

Add sugar and rest of vinegar

keep cooking until its thick

Spoon into warm jars

Enjoy!

All the ingredients can be swapped for similar if thats what you want but this is my favourite! its so spicy.

If you want you can also substitute the normal vinegar for sarsons pickling vinegar and dont bother with the allspice, i did that this time as i hadnt any allspice in as this vinegar is pre-spiced.

Hi Trappa what type of vinegar, is it normal malt?

I am new to this

[trappa 518]

yes mate, normal malt or you can do what i often do and miss out the allspice and use pre-spiced vinegar from sarsons, the big pickling jar type, This vinegar is spicy as it is.
