Today's chutney is

rhubarb.



In the last week I've picked 2kg of rhubarb from our plants, and I think there's at least another kilo left to go

  2. Sure! it was

    1kg rhubarb - chopped
    2.5 cups white vinegar (although I used 1 cup cider and the rest white)
    3 cups firmly packed brown sugar
    1 tablespoon white mustard seeds
    1 teaspoon mixed spice
    1/2 teaspoon chilli powder (my addition - recipe calls for 1 teaspoon ground ginger but I didn't have any)
    1.5 cup sultanas (I used 1 cup sultanas and 1/2 cup currants)

    bring to boil once sugar has disolved then simmer until you get the desired "chutneyish" consistency :*)

    Be warned I adapted this recipe so can't vouch for the taste. Smelt good though.
