courgette chutney

[HeyWayne]

Made another load yesterday, doubled up the recipe again as my courgettes each weighed about 2 kilos. Trouble is, as per last year I run out of pan space after a while. Must invest in bigger pans for next year...

Takes an age to chop everything too - might try using the food processor next year too.

Please remind me to re-read this thread next year.

I made this the other week and although I have not opened a jar yet, it did taste fab when it was warm.

Will be making an adaptation of it next weekend, it's really nice and soooooooooo easy!

I concur - last year I was a bit neurotic about the measurements and amounts of each. This year I've been a little more relaxed about it.

I have an adaptation bubbling away right now ... with pumpkin substituting some of the courgette

[tlck9]

wondered if anyone could help a newbie, how many jars would something like this recipe make?

[Alison]

If I remember right it made far more than I was expecting - was giving tonnes of it away last Christmas

[chengjing]

Thanks for the recipe, just wondering what to do with so many marrows and tomatoes.

Just bumping this recipe because I've found it while doing a search, and I'm making it either today or tomorrow.

Making lots of chutney, this sounds a good one. I'm running out of jars though. The girls at work think I'm mad - I've got them saving toilet roll "inner tubes" for bean and pea planting, now jars (I though I had plenty)

rustylady - think this has been mentioned before on another thread, but I have been buying jars of Sainsbury's Basic Curry Sauce at 9 pence a jar. The sauce is not brilliant, so I've been throwing it away and using the cheap jars for my jams & chutneys. That way all the jars are the same size/shape (if it matters, but they're easier to store). I think Asda sell something similar for 9 pence as well.
Go and have a mooch round the supermarket.

Sorry - just noticed this was on an old thread that had been "bumped" !

Yes Asda do curry sauce and pickled red cabbage for around 10/9p. I froze the sauce (actually you just reminded me what that brown stuff in the bottom of the freezer is) and the cabbage is in a plastic bowl. I fear it may end up in the bin as it is rank. Do you think someone on freecycle may want it? seems wrong to throw away

......bumping this again cos I made this recipe and gave a jar to my neighbours who are asian and are always giving us food parcels.

They thought it was wonderful

bumpity bump


I somehow planted 12 courgettes this year

[Shadylane]

Since discovering chutney and pickles last year I no longer think this is too many. Especially considering I restricted myself to 6 this year and then they all got set back by really late frosts. Glut will be a while yet I think
