GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Set over high heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until mixture has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 hour.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove cinnamon sticks. At this point, chutney can be cooled and served, or canned: Ladle chutney into clean canning jars, and wipe excess from rims; screw on lids.
• Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Using canning tongs, gently place jars in boiling water, making sure the water covers the jars (if not, pour in additional water to cover). Let jars sit in gently simmering water for 10 minutes. Remove; let cool slightly. Check seal by pressing in center of lid. If it doesn't pop back, it is properly sealed; if it does, return jars to water for 10 more minutes. Let sealed jars cool completely.
• Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place up to 6 months. Opened jars will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY - TRADITIONAL ENGLISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Finely chop the tomatoes, apples and onions. Put them in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Cover and leave somewhere cool overnight.
• Strain off the resulting salty juice and discard. Put the remains of the onion, tomato, apple mix into a pan and add the vinegar, spice, mustard, ginger and pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 1½ hours, stirring occasionally. You will know when it is ready because the chutney will start to become 'thick' in texture.
• Turn off the heat and leave it in the pan to cool. Once it is at room temperature then decant it into clean storage jars, seal and put to one side for use. This can be eaten immediately after cooking, but you will find that the flavour improves if left for a few weeks in the jars before eating.
