Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Glutney
Ingredients
- 675g courgettes and marrow or pumpkin, peeled and diced into 1cm pieces
- 675g over-ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped
- OR
- 675g over-ripe plums, stoned and chopped
- 675g bruised or shrivelled apples
- 250g onions, peeled and roughly chopped
- 375ml white wine or cider vinegar
- 200ml water
- 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp each of cloves, black peppercorns and coriander seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 250g raisins and other dried fruits
- 250g light brown sugar
Method
- 1
Place all ingredients into a large, heavy pan. Make up a spice bag by tying the spices into a square of muslin. Add to the pan, pushing it to the middle.
- 2
Heat gently, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil slowly then simmer on a low heat for about one hour, stirring regularly to stop it burning on the bottom of the pan.

The chutney's ready when it’s rich, thick and reduced, and when it parts to reveal the base of the pan when a wooden spoon is dragged trough it. If it starts to dry out before this stage, add a little boiling water.
- 4
Place in sterilised jars with plastic coated screw top lids while still warm but not boiling hot.
