Pear and Apricot Chutney

[sonic]

2lb 12 ozs pears
5oz ripe tomatoes
5oz bramley apples peeled and chopped
5oz onion finely chopped
2 tespoons ginger
1 teaspoon salt
450 ml of white wine vinegar
150z caster sugar
15 ozs apricots roughly chopped

Put all the ingredients except the pears into a large preserving pan and bring to the boil and then simmer for 30 mins then add the pears and simmer for a further 30 mins. The mixture will be slightly syrupy when it is ready and there wont be much liquid visible.
Allow to cool a little and then pot up into sterilised jars, it will keep for at least a year.

Serve with cheese and biscuits or with your favourite curry or just on a ham sandwich. Enjoy, I know we do.

I wish I grew Pears & Apricots....!

and because I don't, I'm going to ask you for just one jar of that to convince me to grow Pears and Apricots because it sounds GORGEOUS.

I'll swap you for a jar of something of mine maybe.

sounds great. i made pear chutney last year and am down to my last jar as my family are very fond of it as well. most of it was eaten with pate. and sounds even nicer with apricots mmmm just a few questions as im sure i can get someone to donate me some pears in return for a jar.
Was it fresh ginger?
150 oz of sugar or 15 oz of sugar?
Dried or fresh apricots?
sorry dont be mad just want to get it right x
