How to Make Green Tomato Chutney Traditional English Recipe

  1. Wash and roughly chop 1kg green tomatoes.
  2. Peel and finely chop 2 large onions.
  3. Finely grate 1 tbsp ginger.
  4. Finely chop 4-6 green chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
  5. Combine the tomatoes, onions, ginger, and chilies in a large pan.
  6. Add 500g granulated sugar, 250ml malt vinegar, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp turmeric powder and salt to taste.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 1-1.5 hours, or until the chutney has thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Sterilize your jars by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Allow them to cool while the chutney continues to cook.
  9. Once the chutney has thickened, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  10. Carefully ladle the hot chutney into the sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top.
  11. Seal the jars tightly and leave to cool completely. Once completely cool, check seals are tight.
  12. Store in a cool, dark place. Allow the chutney to mature for at least 2 weeks before serving for the best flavor.
