Notes
Top Tip!
To sterilise the jars, wash them in hot soapy water and place in a pre-heated oven at 160°C for about 15 minutes. Make sure to take care when spooning the chutney into the warm the jars so as not to burn your fingers!This recipe has been lovingly created for Kilduff Farm by Sonia Lee, LeeLifeNutition.
