chutney love

With the abundance of feijoas around here, besides eating loads of them, I have been making feijoa chutney. It's quick and easy and so far fail proof. I am making many batches at the moment to stock pile for the coming months. The recipe is as follows:

12 feijoas - I use medium sized ones
2 apples
2 onions
1 t salt
1 C vinegar (I use white)
1 T pickling spice (I grind mine done or you can tie it up in a muslin bag and throw it out at the end)
450g brown sugar
a small chunk of fresh ginger peeled and grated - approx thumb sized

Finely chop the feijoas, apples (both with skin still on) and onions. Put in a large pot with salt and pickling spice, vinegar and ginger - cook until soft. Add the sugar and simmer until thick. I use a stick blender to make it a bit less chunky - an optional step. Bottle in clean, sterilised jars.

yum! I love this chutney with cheese and crackers or added into a stew. Enjoy.
