As promised

Christmas Chutney

10 oz Dried Apricots
9oz Dried Dates
1lb 2oz Dried Figs
10 oz Dried Cranberries
8 oz. Raisins
3 large red onions (chopped)
3 Medium Bramley Apples (chopped)
2in Fresh Ginger root (finely chopped)
2 Teaspoons mixed spice
Pinch of dried chilli flakes
Grated zest of 1 large orange
1lb 8oz Light muscovado sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
1 and a 1/2 pints of picking vinegar ( you can make your own here)

Make about 8 weeks before Christmas

Using scissors snip the Apricots,dates and figs into small pieces and add to your preserving pan with all the remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is on a slow bubble. Cook for about 45 minutes or until the mixture is a thick pulpy consistency, but not too wet... Pour into sterilised jars and seal. It should keep for about 9 months. It's great with pork and cold Turkey.

Hope you like it. xxx
