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.
