Method

Tomato Chutney is a community recipe submitted by Franchini and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

  • Put all the ingredients into a pan, bring to a simmer and then cook over a low heat for 3 to 3.5 hours. Stir occasionally and more frequently towards the end of the cooking time to prevent sticking. I used a heat diffuser to help even out the heat from my gas flame.
  • The chutney is ready when no more than a small amount of syrupy liquid collects in a trough that you draw in the chutney with a spoon. It firms up a bit more as it cools.
  • Once cooked, discard the cinnamon and pour into 3 500ml kilner jars. Close the lid and leave to cool. I sterilised my jars by putting them in a hot oven for 5-10 minutes. I dunked the seals in boiling water for a couple of minutes.
  • The chutney can be eaten straight away but improves after a few months.
