Ingredients

Method

1.Heat oil in large, heavy-based saucepan on medium. Add mustard seeds and cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes until they begin to pop.
2.Add tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, onions, chillies and spice, stirring to combine. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 1 1/2 hours, or until mixture thickens. Season to taste.
3.Spoon hot chutney into sterilised jars and seal while hot. Turn upside down for 2 minutes. Return upright and set aside until cooled.

The cooking time of your chutney depends on the size of the pot used – it will cook faster in a bigger pot. Use the best quality, vine-ripened tomatoes you can find.
