Made some chutney this afternoon. Never made it before.
After filled the jars I had quarter of a jars worth left. I put it into a full size sterilised jar. Will this keep or does the jar have to be full to keep well?

I usually put part filled jars in the fridge to use up rather than keeping them. What flavour did you make?
I too, usually put half filled jars into fridge to use up.
I make lots of jam, but haven't braved chutney yet! is it an easy recipe? I only do easy!
I have 2 big bowls of unripe plumbs loads more on the tree! An easy chutney recipe would be good if anyone s got one?
Thanks all. I'll pop it in the fridge.
I hadn't made chutney before and found it much easier than jam.
We had a neighbour give us a load of eating apples. Too many for snack time. Made a couple of apple cakes so thought I'd try chutney.
I looked up some recipies but was always short on some ingredient. So I chopped up about 7 apples. Lobbed in a few hard horrid spanish plums that haven't ripened and two onions. Had some a small quantity of sultanas so added them too. Put in about a cup of sugar and double that of malt vinegar and a slug of balsamic too. Added spice (ground ginger, pepper, all spice, a star anise and a little cinnamon ) and salt.
I just boiled it all up and simmered until you can drag a spoon through as mentioned above.
Tasted OK when I licked the spoon so we will see if that's still the case after it has matured for a few weeks :-)
So with the unripened plums I would just google a few recipes and tweak to what you have in the cupboard.
sounds good ... might have to try! for the first year ever ALL my tomato plants grew and I am starting to drown under tomatoes! I have 'sun dried' a few in the oven, but they don't keep for long!
