OLD FASHIONED SCOTTISH APPLE AND GINGER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place all the prepared onions and apples into a large preserving pan and add the remaining ingredients.
• Bring slowly to the boil and then lower the heat so that chutney cooks at a rolling boil.

• Keep on cooking until the chutney is the consistency of a thick jam and all the liquids have dissolved.
• (A trick to check if it is cooked is to draw your wooden spoon across the chutney, if the space that is left fills up with liquid, the chutney is not ready yet!).
