Microwave Apple and Honey Chutney

This incredibly easy chutney contains no sugar only honey. I am going to be demonstrating this at The Edible Garden Show, the weekend of the 16th March.

This makes 2x 450g jars of chutney, but is easily doubled up if you wish to make more.

You can use cider vinegar in place of malt if you have it.

Ingredients

4 large dessert apples, diced quite small, don't peel though

4 tablespoons sultanas or raisins or 2 of each

1 medium sized onion, chopped finely

3 rounded tablespoons set honey

6 tablespoons malt vinegar

2 tablespoons apple juice

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 level teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method

1. Sterilize your jars and tops, I prefer to use Milton solution.

2.Place all the ingredients in a large microwavable bowl and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

3.Cover with clingfilm and place in the microwave and cook on high for 10-12 minutes, depending on the power of your machine.

4.Remove and stir well, uncover and cook for 4-5 minutes.

5.Use a hand blender to refine the texture of your chutney to your taste, I like it quite smooth.

6.Cook for 1 more minute then stir.

7.Spoon into your sterile jars and screw the lid on tightly.

Label the jars and leave to mature for 2 weeks.
