Method

Put all the ingredients in a stainless steel pan and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 30 mins. Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from sticking, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Allow the chutney to cool, before pouring into clean jars. Cover with non-metallic lids and store in a cool place.
