Will try and post a recipe for red onion chutney when i get home... don't have it on me at the mo

Siver fox I will try your onion chutney next time I have a curry, but it's a preserve that I want. One that will keep in a jar for a few months. Red onion chutney sounds just the thing.

Thank you

Onion and apple pickle

4lb (2kg) onions
2lb (1kg) cooking apples
Spiced vinegar

Peel the onions and cut into thin slices. Peel and core the apples and slice, or cut into cubes. Mix the two together quickly or the apples will turn brown. Pot at once in clean jars, cover with the hot vinegar and seal.

This pickle can be eaten the following day, as neither the onions nor the apples have been salted, but it improves with keeping.

Hope that is of use swampie sue. I've not tried it. To make spiced vinegar just boil up the vinegar with some pickling spice in a muslin bag. Although my mum always used to chuck it all in and if it went in the jar well so be it.

At last - red onion chutney!

8 sliced red onions
100g caster sugar
100ml red wine vinegar
100ml red wine
1 tbsp cranberry juice

Place the onions and sugar in a saucepan, cover and cook for about 10 mins until soft
Pour in the red wine and red wine vinegar then simmer for a further 10 mins until the mixture is sticky
Stir in the cranberry juice, mix well and leave to cool and then transfer to warm jars

This should be stored for at least 1 month to let the flavours develop

(Recipe from my best friend's mum, who is a great cook. She apologies for the vagueness of it, as she tends to jar it in whatever she has empty!)
