Ingredients

  • 2kg marrows

    500g apples, peeled and chopped
    1.5l white vinegar
    400g dark brown sugar

Did you know..?

Chutneys can be made from almost any combination of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices!

Method

Peel the marrows, remove the seeds and chop into small pieces (around half-a-centimetre cubes). Sprinkle with salt and leave until you can drain the water, preferably overnight. Place in a preserving pan with all the other ingredients.

Bring to the boil and simmer for two hours or until you have a chutney consistency. You can test this by putting some onto a cold plate. If it runs when tipped slightly, it is not quite ready. Once you have achieved the required consistency, leave your chutney to cool before bottling.
