Simmer uncovered until the mix is thick and has reduced, which could take 2-3 hours. When you can scrape the spoon across the bottom of the pan without the mixture filling in the gap right away, it is done. Put into hot, sterilised jars and seal. Keep for at least two weeks before using. When I did this chutney a few weeks ago, it attracted every wasp in the area, so be prepared - hang up netting infront of open windows/doors or put out a wasp trap, like a dish of jam, to divert their attention. Or make it after dark.

  Reply | Contact   Red Tomato Chutney Makes: approx 4lb  6lb RipeTomatoes  1lb Onions  12oz Sugar ½ pint Malt Vinegar 1oz Salt 2 tsp Paprika ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper Wash and chop the tomatoes, peel and chop the onions. Place the tomatoes and onions into a heavy bottomed saucepan, cook gently to release the tomato juices, simmer for 20 - 30 minutes until tender. Add the salt, paprika, cayenne and half of the vinegar, cook gently for 45 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Add the sugar and remaining vinegar, stirring until fully dissolved. Continue simmering, until the mixture becomes thick, stirring occasionally. Pour into sterilised jars. Leave for 3 - 5 weeks before sampling to allow the flavour to mature BB

OH doesn't like chutney, but I think he'd feel differently about a tomato and chilli relish! Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.
