Ingredients
1.8 kg tomatoes
450 g onions, peeled and roughly chopped
300 ml vinegar
5 ml mixed spice
5 ml paprika
pinch cayenne pepper
350 g soft brown sugar
Method
Place half the tomatoes in a large bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 10-15 seconds — pour off the hot water and replace with cold
Drain, then remove the skins and repeat with the remaining tomatoes
Chop all the tomatoes roughly and put them in a large saucepan or preserving pan with the onions, vinegar, spices and cayenne pepper
Simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes until the vegetables are cooked and the flavours have started to blend
Increase the heat and boil to evaporate some of the liquid, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is a thick, pouring consistency
Add the sugar and stir to dissolve, then bring to the boil, stirring frequently, for 20-30 minutes or until the chutney is thick, with no excess liquid
Cool slightly, then pour into clean, warmed jars.
