• Place the eggplant in a large colander, sprinkle with the salt and toss to combine. Place the colander in the sink and stand for 1 hour for the eggplant to degorge. Rinse the eggplant well and pat dry with paper towel.

• Reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours or until all the excess liquid has evaporated and the mixture is thick. Stir the chutney more frequently towards the end of cooking.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and stand for 2-3 minutes. Stir and then ladle into hot sterilised jars. Seal tightly and turn upside down for 2 minutes. Invert and allow to cool. Label, date and store in a cool dark place for at least 1 month before using.
