Roast Apple Chutney

We have thousands of apples at the moment so why not make apple chutney. It is a very good addition to curry, cheese and a whole host of meat dishes. What's more, it is a very simple process to prepare and a great seasonal gift at Christmas!!

Ingredients

6 large cooking apples
2 shallots (chopped finely)
1 tablespoon of chili vinegar
1 teaspoon of cayenne
1 teaspoon of salt
Cup of beetroot juice.

Method

Roast the cooking apples for 1 hour 200 degrees. When soft, mash them to a pulp in a pan under a low heat and add the beetroot juice. This gives a lovely colour to the chutney! Add the finely chopped challots, the chili vinegar, the cayenne pepper and the salt. Simmer very gently until the chutney is the consistency of thick cream. Bottle and seal.
