Mama Lisa's Homemade Chutney
I developed this recipe myself,based on others I found in some old school fundraising cookbooks from the 1930's and '40's.
The good thing about it for me is that it makes use of produce from our own trees and gardens(i.e. the apples,lemons,onions and chillies are all homegrown) so it doesn't cost alot to make.
I find the spices work well with the fruit and each other.
