Nigel Slater's green tomato recipes | Life and style | The Observer: "MIXED TOMATO CHUTNEY"

"I tend not to make gallons of chutney or jam or marmalade, but prefer to make smaller quantities, a couple of jars at a time.
It is essential to make sure your jars are spotlessly clean. I pour boiling water into mine and let them sit for a few minutes before carefully pouring them out and allowing them to dry.
Others put theirs into a warm oven for 10 minutes.
This will make a couple of jam jars' worth.


900g tomatoes, mixed green and red

350g onions

90g raisins

250g light muscovado sugar

1 medium sized, hot red chilli

1 tsp salt

2 tsp yellow mustard seeds

300ml white wine vinegar

Halve the tomatoes.
Put the green fruit together with the peeled and roughly chopped onions, into a large stainless- steel or enamelled pan with the raisins, sugar, chilli, salt, mustard seeds and vinegar.
Bring to the boil, turn down the heat and leave to simmer for an hour, giving the occasional stir to reduce the risk of the chutney sticking.
After about 25 minutes cooking, add the ripe tomatoes and continue to simmer.
Then spoon into sterilized jars and seal."
