As it only made 7 small jars I don't really want to give any away although if I don't think of other things to make for hamper gifts I might have to, so I was going to say that's the only chutney I shall make this autumn.......... but maybe not.
The recipe is on the separate recipe page - quite a long way down. It's called Red Hot and Sweet Relish (my name............... as its a mix of two recipes from books)
Back Tomorrow

It's a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds - what a gorgeous colour set off perfectly by those white lids! (I like my food to look nice, hah) It seems a shame to give them away when you enjoy them and have a limited amount.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the internet recipes for canning jar gifts? - either for baking, such as the ingredients for cookies, or dried ingredients to make soup. There are also a lot of candy-type gift ideas floating around on the internet such as almond bark. Fudge is usually received well, or any baking really. The thing I find with sweets is that the ingredients tend to be pricey. And baking is hard on the back, for folks who have problems there (and I know you are one). If you sew, potholders are small and easy, and always useful. Apologies if this is an overload of suggestions!
A glorious colour, just perfect for this lovely autumn we are having and even more so for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI make fudge and shortbread as gifts - they always go down really well.

Just buy some gift tokens and be done with it. From Down to Earth, Norfolk x
ReplyDeleteBut then I'd have nothing to write about on the blog!
DeleteLovely colour and it looks very moreish!
ReplyDeleteYou have set me off now. The very first thing I will make is ... Quince Liquer, taken from an old'ish Suffolk cookbook. Hampers are fun to make and a pleasure to receive.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to make any chutney this year until I saw your photo!
ReplyDeleteNow I’m extremely tempted!
Homemade gifts are always a treat to receive.
My mother turned the house into a fudge making factory every year and various relatives looked forward eagerly to her parcel.
In the meantime my brother and I made ourselves feel sick eating a piece every time we passed the tins.
Chocolate was my favourite closely followed by walnut.
I loved licking out the condensed milk tins too!

What a clever idea to freeze the tomatoes first and so lose some of the liquid which would take ages to boil off. When I used to make slow gin I always froze the sloes as they broke down better in the gin.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful colour, it certainly tantalises the senses.
ReplyDeleteOoooh that does look nice Sue.

Interestingly Sue I made one of my favourite soups on Tuesday - tomato, red pepper and onion with a dash of tomto puree and a spoonful of mixed herbs. It was delicious - have just finished it today - three helpings.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious. I make a tomato relish . I have all mine made for this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious colour it is.
ReplyDeleteYes, lovely colour chutney. I didn't make any this year, we still have several jars of last year's two efforts - Fruity and Red Tomato. For some reason, neither of them was very good, they just didn't taste spicy enough.
ReplyDeleteThat colour is so vibrant. What do you use your chutney on?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yum! I absolutely adore chutney. I'm not sure I have a favourite though ... too hard to choose:D
