1 pound Plums halved and stoned
1 pound Apples peeled and cored
1 pound Tomatoes chopped
1 pound Onions sliced
2 large Garlic cloves chopped
3 cups Raisins
¼ teaspoon Mace
¼ teaspoon Ground mixed spice
2 tbs Ground ginger
1 pound Light brown sugar
Mix the fruit and vegetables together. Put into an preserving pan (Note: these books call for an aluminum pan - I just don't use aluminum with acid food ) Add the remaining ingredients, except the sugar. Simmer for about 30 minutes until tender. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, until thick. (Note: how long this takes depends on the water content of the fruits). Cool, then pack the chutney into clean jars. Cover and seal. PS: Always refrigerate after opening the jar.
