LEMON CHUTNEY


I need to make use of  the abundant lemons that are growing on my daughter`s lemon tree at  her place in Churchill.
For lemon chutney you will need 4 large lemons washed and sliced , remove all the pips .
Peel and chop 225gm of white onions and place them  in a large bowl with the lemons .
Mix thoroughly with your hands .
Sprinkle with 2 tbs of salt and let sit for 24 hours .
Next day place the lemon , onion mix in a saucepan along with 450 ml of malt vinegar , 450gm ( 2 cups  ) of sugar , 115 gm ( 1 cup ) of raisins , 2 tbs of mustard seeds , 1 tsp of ground ginger and 1 tsp of cayenne pepper .


Now over a slow heat bring this mix to the boil , then reduce heat to maintain a simmer , and cook until tender .( approx. 4 hours )
Pour into sterilised jars and seal securely when cool .
