A mince pie or rich Christmas cake with cheese and pickles etc the food of the gods
But I love a good ploughman’s lunch any day of the year
Cheese mince pies sound interesting! Can you share that recipie too please! X

I usually at least double the recipe just adjust the cooking time I’ve been making it for 40 years so I just know when it’s done
750 g green tomatoes
350g shallots or onions
200 g peeled cooking apples
300 mls malt vinegar
2 red chillies
A couple of mustard seeds crushed if you have them
About an inch of fresh root ginger ( I peel ginger with a teaspoon as my mother did works a treat )
100 grams of any dried fruit or rasins sultanas apricots etc we prefer sultanas or apricots
A scant teaspoon of salt ( we use very little salt in everything)
200g brown sugar
In a heavy saucepan I use a ancient preserving pan
The tomatoes onions apples and half the vinegar
Bring to the boil add the dried fruit
In a muslin bag ( I use not uses of course muslin nappy liners cut up ) the chillies ginger and mustard tie it up and bash it with a rolling pin drop into the pan
Simme for around 30 mins
Simmer till it thickens around an hour stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick
Then add the salt the vinegar and sugar stir till the sugar dissolves and the chutney thickens
Take out the spice bag
Put the chutney in to warm jars then seal with air tight lid leave at least 6 weeks before using
Goes great with cheese cold meat or in here apple pie with a cheese pastry crust or with Stilton and Christmas cake will last up to a year if unopened
I store mine in the fridge when I open a jar but unopened just in a cool place
Made boozy mince meat tonight and the Christmas cake and pudding
I don’t faff about peeling the tomatoes deseeding etc I just peel core and quarter the apples
My sister has just done spiced pears they are amazing with poultry
Thanks for this, Gryff. 😊 👍🏾

Apologies for the delay. I reuse clean sterilised jars. Its written in Lbs & oz as its been passed down.

Caramelised onion chutney:
3Lbs red onions peeled thin sliced
12oz dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil (not virgin)
Juice 1 lemon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 fluid oz malt vinegar

Heat oil cook onions for 5 mins medium to low heat don't burn
Add vinegars lemon juice and all spices cook 5 mins
Add sugar bring to boil and simmer until reduced approx 3hrs.

You can double it to make more. Keeps for 6months in sealed jars.
Best if left to mature for a month before eating.
