chutney

My sister's chutney recipe, which is really Iron Bloomers' recipe, via the magic of the Internet. (Although the haberno swap is all mermaid.)

Because @martingruner is looking to use up a whole mess of apples.

btw? Seriously good on scrambled eggs.

Ingredients

• 2 quarts chopped cored, pared tart apples


• 2 lbs raisins


• 1 cup chopped onion


• 1 cup chopped sweet red pepper


• 4 cups brown sugar


• 3 tablespoons mustard seeds


• 2 tablespoons ground ginger


• 2 teaspoons ground allspice


• 2 teaspoons salt


• 1/2 of a habanero pepper


• 1 garlic clove, crushed


• 1 quart vinegar

Directions
Combine ingredients; simmer until thickened about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Stir frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking.

Pour boiling hot mixture into hot pint jars leaving 1/4-inch head space.

Adjust caps and then process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

Note: For milder chutney an additional 1 quart of apples may be added.
