I always have to make big batches of this as I always find myself eating it with a spoon. Seriously. I will sit in the kitchen, with a teaspoon and eat it out of the jar. Sometimes I put it on top of chunks of cheese to make me feel better about my eating choices.
In our garden in London we have grown tomatoes, many of which go into some sort of chutney - heaven forbid we actually just eat them, as they are - but I must confess I am very lucky to be able to raid the M-I-L's greenhouse to top up the supply, I am sure she knows I do it?
Ingredients
250g Red Onions
500g Mixed Tomatoes. You can use any sort really. Funny colours, funny shapes
1 Fresh Red Chilli. Or more depending if you like it hot!
100ml Red Wine Vinegar
150g Brown Sugar
Method
1. Peel and finely slice the onions, roughly chop the tomatoes and deseed and finely slice the chilli.
2. Put everything in a big, jam-making pan, and mix it all together. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes or until jammy. Stir it occasionally to stop the bottom burning. You don't want BBQ sauce!
3. Pour into a sterilised jar and leave to cool.
4. Keep in the fridge after opening, if there is any left.
5. It really is that simple!
