Green Tomato Chutney

This week’s recipe is another seasonal one. I have other recipes I want to share with you, but I seem to be running from one seasonal recipe to another at the moment. This week it is a recipe to use up end of season green tomatoes. I hate to throw anything away so I thought I would share this recipe, aimed at those of you who are similarly inclined.

Apart from using up the aforementioned tomatoes, the chutney is a great way of spicing up less flavoursome meats and can turn a plain meal into something much more interesting. It is also good in sandwiches. I use the chutney instead of butter on all manner of sandwiches. It moistens the perhaps otherwise dry bread and adds flavour without adding in any additional animal fats. It can turn a simple cheese sandwich into a savoury delight.

The recipe itself couldn’t be simpler. Just put the ingredients into a large pan and simmer until reduced and thick. Bottled it lasts for months.
