Right - I've got all the ingredients in the pan and it is now boiling. Next step is to simmer for 2 hours. I know this might seem elementary to all you expert cooks out there, but do I leave the lid on or off? No laughing and pointing the finger of fun at me!

Lid off, you want it to reduce down and thicken.

Thanks ratty - especially as I was going to leave it on!!
...but when it goes in the jar. it's lid ON.
But, you knew that bit, didn't you?!
Make sure you keep an eye on it, you don't want it to catch after all the hard work. I love apple and onion chutney I ought to get cooking soon myself.
I've never made it, but if I were simmering something for 2 hours with the lid off I'd be regularly checking it.
I do not believe I took 2 minutes to type that :-(

All finished and successful. I tasted a bit and it is very nice, so I expect it will be even better when I leave it to mature. I checked it regularly Old Geezer and gave it a stir every time I looked. Probably more than was necessary because I was afraid it might burn, but fortunately all was well. Many thanks for all the help and good suggestions.
