Ok - glad to hear as that's the one I have written down!!!

[LostGoddess]

Going to give this a go too, sounds yum!

i pulled all my trailing toms of the blighted plants today. Can these be used as they are really quite small?

[zazen999]

Yup, that's what I used. It was finished and canned up last night, the last jar just popped a minute ago strangely enough.

We are opening one tomorrow to have with poppadoms and felafel for tea tomorrow.

Norty Step I know, but if the OH is keen, then there's no stopping him.

Thanks Zazen, i got 3 lb off my 5 plants today so will crack on with making some tomorrow. Fingers crossed my cordons look OK so far.

I thought i'd be more gutted than i am, because at least i know i am going to have something to show. I was just going to take them into work to snack on!

[LostGoddess]

OK, I have prepared my toms and onions, salted them and left them overnight, so I'm ready to finsh off tonight.
I have a question.... how should I prepare the 1kg of cooking apples? just chop them?
Also, I didn't have a way to mince the toms, so I chopped some and finely sliced some. Do you think this is OK?

thanks in advance

I just peeled and chopped them straight into the pan once all the other stuff was in there.

I have already polished off a small jar [but not as small as Piskie's jars] and the second is chilling in the fridge waiting to be popped open this afternoon.

Thanks Andrea (still a little bit weird )

And talking of Piskie's jars... I kept meaning to post this pic of what I thought would be the perfect sized funnel for her ickle jars

That's the first batch of this years Earthbabe Special Green Tomato Chutney simmering away on the cooker - about 14lbs of green toms, so quite a big batch. If it turns out the same as last years, I'll be well happy

[Scottishnewbie]

we opened our first jar of this last week and i was really impressed with it. made lots of jars a few weeks back with my blighted toms and have lots of jars planned for c'mas pressies

[sewer rat]

I was being badgered by some customers at the last Farmers Market who wanted to know when I would have some for sale this year. Very popular it was, and no doubt will be again.

Just made this years 9lb batch of this wonderful chutney! Now have 5 big jars of it cooling in the kitchen, smells great!!

Going to be making Mango Chutney, Piccalilli, Onion Marmalade, Sweet Pickle (Branston type) and Mincemeat this week, just hope we've enough jars and cupboard space for it all!

I made some of this a couple of years ago but haven't had enough green tomatoes since, they always seem to ripen so easily on the window ledge. Maybe keep some back next year as it is very nice.

The ultimate green tomato chutney....as the above but add any nearly consumed jars of jam you may have and the piece de resistance 'curry powder'.......yum yum
