Ingredients




750 grams Prunes, pitted
4 Green apples
1 Onion
60 grams Raisins
2 tablespoons Ginger, finely chopped
30 grams Mustard seeds
240 ml  White vinegar
200 grams Sugar
1 teaspoon Chilli
2 teaspoons Allspice
650 ml Water

Preparation

1 Rinse the prunes, apples and onion clean. Pat them dry with kitchen towel. Cut prunes lengthwise into strips. Peel, core and dice the apples. Cut the onion into thin wedges. 2 Place onion, raisins, prunes, ginger, mustard seeds, chillie, allspice, vinegar, sugar, and 2/3 of the water in a large saucepan. Set over medium-high heat, and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes. 3 Add the diced apples and the rest of the water. Stirring frequently, cook until apples are soft and translucent and liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Transfer chutney immediately to jars.
