LAURA'S FRUITY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Halve, stone and chop the plums (about the same size as you would for an apple pie - not too big, not too small). Drop them into a large saucepan. Core, peel and chop the apples and pears in the same way. Peel, stone and chop the mango. Put all the fruit in the pan.
• Stir sugar, vinegar, onions, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, coriander, crushed chillies and salt into the pan, then drop the cinnamon stick on top. Heat slowly for about 20 mins, giving an occasional stir, until the sugar has dissolved. Now leave the chutney to simmer at a steady pace, without a lid, stirring occasionally until reduced and thickened, but still with a nice balance of syrupy juice. This will take about 1½ hrs. You don't want to cook it until all the liquid has gone, as it will thicken once it cools. Discard the cinnamon stick.
• Using a heatproof jug, pour the chutney while still hot into sterilised jars. It will keep for about a year in a cool, dry place.

WINTER FRUIT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place prunes and apricots in saucepan; add 1 cup/250 mL water and bring to boil.
• Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Stir in onion, apple, tomatoes, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, black and cayenne peppers, salt and vinegar; bring to simmer.
• Cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, until thickened to jamlike consistency, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Remove from heat and spoon into jar.

FRUIT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to heavy bottomed saucepan and heat over low, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
• Turn the heat to low. Simmer 20 minutes or until the fruit is cooked and thick. Check periodically to see if more liquid is needed.
• If time allows, use proper methods (check with your local cooperative extension office) to can the chutney and let sit for 6-8 weeks.
• Otherwise, cool and dig in!

SILVER SPOON FRUITY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Sterilise canning jars by putting them on an oven tin in a cold oven, and heating oven to 325 deg F/160 deg C for at least 10 - 15 minutes. Handle carefully when taking them out -- take out the entire tin with the bottles. Less mess.
• Combine all the prepared ingredients in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.
• Bring to boil over high heat, then turn heat down and simmer, stirring now and then.
• Simmer open until the fruits are tender and the mixture has the consistency of a preserve or relish.
• Ladle into the hot sterilised jars, and seal. Well-sealed, this will keep almost forever.
