Tomato chutney
Ingredients:
750 g tomatoes
70 g brown sugar
1 clove of garlic
4 chillies
A sprig of fresh tarragon
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Method:
1. Chop the tomatoes, garlic and chillies. (For a milder
flavour, remove the seeds from the chillies.)
2. Place all the ingredients except the vinegar in a
suitable glass bowl and stir well. Cover and cook for
10 minutes at 800/900 W, then for a further
30 minutes at 450 W until the mixture is reduced to
a thick mass. Add the vinegar and cook, uncovered,
for another 10 minutes at 450 W.
3. The chutney should taste quite fiery when hot, as
the flavour will become milder as it cools.
4. While still hot, ladle into sterilised jars and seal
immediately.
