How to Cook Green Tomato Chutney
- Bruise the root ginger (smack it about a bit!), peel, core and mince the apples, peel and mince the onions and thinly slice the tomatoes. Tie the root ginger in a piece of muslin and place it in a preserving pan with all the other ingredients (In case you can't be bothered to work it out, that's ginger, apples, onions, green tomatoes, sultanas, sugar, salt, malt vinegar, cayenne pepper, mustard powder.)
- Bring the pan to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are tender, reduced to a thick consistency and no excess liquid remains.
- Remove the muslin bag, spoon the chutney into prepared jars and cover immediately with airtight and vinegar-proof tops.
- Hey, that was easy, wasn't it!! Now just enjoy it with something totally delicious like Mini Pork Pies with Quails' Eggs

If you can't get English mustard (which is very hot) use whatever you can get but increase the amount a little (don't overdo it!)
