How to make courgette chutney

Found this from Allotment Growing

Ingredients

  • 4 lb courgettes
  • 2lb 8oz onions
  • 2lb 8oz brown sugar
  • Large piece of fresh ginger
  • 1/2 tspn pepper
  • 2 pints malt vinegar
  • 2 heads of garlic
  • 2lb 8oz tomatoes
  • 1 tspn cayenne pepper
  • 2 tspn salt

Method

Chop all the vegetables, add vinegar, sugar and spices and bring slowly to the boil, stirring now and again. If the courgettes have a tough skin, you can peel them and compost the skins. Simmer for about two hours (don’t forget to stir as it will stick) until thick. Pour into heated jars and seal.

Needs at least three months to mature
