SWEET ONION AND APPLE CHUTNEY

All of a sudden it is chutney and jam time in The Manor . I have made this chutney before , it contains no spices , it is just mild and fruity . It is delicious with toasted cheese sandwiches , meat dishes especially Shepherd's Pie or as a spread on a cheese sandwich . Place all the ingredients listed below in a large pot ... 1.5 kg of peeled and chopped onions 1.5 peeled , cored and chopped apples 700gm of sultanas . The grated zest and juice of 2 lemons . 750 gm of soft brown sugar . 600 ml of malt vinegar Now heat gently , stirring all the time until the sugar has dissolved . Slowly bring to the boil , then reduce to a simmer for 35 minutes or until thickened with all the liquid is absorbed . Line up your cleaned preserving jars ,( washed , rinsed and oven dried for 15 minutes in a preheated oven on 180 deg C .) Pour the chutney mixture into the jars , seal and label . This chutney does not need to mature and will keep well for 12 months . I just did a tasting with the red onion focacchia ... delicious .
