thank you so much! I will try making it this week 🙂

Hi Rona,
Thanks for getting in touch. Yes you can replace with brown or white sugar. The colour of the chutney maybe slightly different as this will depend on the colour of the sugar. Hope you are able to have a go at making some. Enjoy! Debbie x

Hi Elaine! Thanks for your comment. Yes this can be water bath processed if you prefer.
You can always check if jars are sealed properly by pressing the lid, - it wont depress further if sealed correctly.
Sealing can just be whilst the chutney is still hot and jars should be sealed immediately. As the chutney cools a vacuum will form, pulling the lid in nice and tight.

You can then check the lid - If it does depress and a seal hasn’t formed you will need to use a water bath to ensure proper processing. But you can just skip straight to the water bath if you prefer.

Hope this helps! Thanks,
Debbie x

Can this be water bath processed?

Hi Jean and Gloria, mixed spice is a blend of Cinnamon, Coriander Seed, Nutmeg, Clove, Pimento, Ginger. its a ready mixed spice available in the UK:
If you aren't in the UK I would just replace this with a mixture of ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Hope this helps. Thanks, Debbie

Ditto that question, whatbis mixed spice?

Hi Leigh! Thanks so much for your comment. I usually use the 110ml jars for storing my chutneys and this recipe usually fills around 10 of these. So if you are using bigger jars I imagine it would fill around 5. Hope this helps and that you enjoy the recipe!! Debbie x

Aw thanks so much Kat - I was going for a festive, glowing look 🙂

Thanks Corina - I'm a massive fan of chutney so absolutely love making my own. Its so simple as well 🙂 I must get around to doing some jams at some point as well 🙂

Thanks so much Monika - and thanks for pinning. Yes cant wait to give mine out this year and see what people think 🙂
