The perfect way to preserve your marrows this autumn! Make a fruity, seasonal chutney, all ready for your harvest festival. Sending our thanks to LittlePod friend Jill for passing on her recipe – a firm favourite here at our HQ in East Devon!
2kg marrows
500g onions, finely chopped
500g apples, peeled and chopped
1.5l white vinegar
400g dark brown sugar
6 small chillies, finely chopped
12 fresh cloves, ground
20g turmeric
1 tsp English mustard
½ tsp LittlePod natural vanilla paste
Chutneys can be made from almost any combination of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices!
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.
