Anyone for CHUTNEY??

With an abundance of Beetroot on the plot, I decided to make some more chutney.

This one is Beetroot and Apple

It has onions (home grown of course) raisins (from a packet) sugar (whatever was in the cupboard) and white wine vinegar (because I can't have Malt Vinegar) in it also.

I must say that it tasted YUMMY, although a little sweet, but that could calm down??

This is my current "STASH" of chutneys that are maturing in the garage - there's Black Pepper & courgette, Glutony Chutney, Picalilli, and Beetroot & Apple.

Some of them have been given away to friends and neighbours and some even posted as far as Nottingham & Malta!!

NEWS FLASH

I have now been lucky enough to get some FREE concrete slabs for my shed base from a very kind FREECYCLE member from Mitcham. OK, so it has meant several trips to Mitcham and back to save my car's suspension, and although the very kind pre owner of these slabs helped me to load them with his wheelbarrow, I had no help at the Lotty end! Pure determination and hard work!

So thank you John Murphy - fellow Freecycler - your slabs will be put to good use - very good use!

Looking out for some shed roof felt / liner now!! You never know.

I'm at it again.....

.....Yes, making more chutney!

This time the recipe is thanks to "Greenforks" and you can view and of coursefollow the recipe for yourselves by clicking here

I adapted the recipe slightly. I used a yellow courgette, added a diced kohlrabi and used spring onions instead of normal onions (oh er Mrs.) as these were all the veg that I had to hand. I did use the apples that my husband said were past their best, and I omitted the raisins because (a) I didn't have any and (b) I can't stand them! So it will be interesting to see how it turns out. I did get many a nice comment about the lovely aroma filling the house during cooking, so that's a good sign!

I got 6 small jars worth, following the recipe to the weights stated but swopping ingredients listed to what I had available from my Lotty.

Well, the end results are what I am looking forward to sampling !!

All my chutneys are Gluten Free, Veggie & Vegan!

To make yours Gluten Free, simply swap the Malt Vinegar for White Wine Vinegar.
