Cleta's Tomato Chutney


So interesting, right!!??  I wish Cleta was my next-door neighbor.  She said the recipe is from the Something About Sandwiches site, and she used a little less sugar than called for.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb / 500g Fresh Tomatoes, finely diced
  • 7 oz / 200g Red Onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup / 100g Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup / 60ml Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Red Chilli, deseeded & finely diced (optional)
  • 1 clove of Garlic, minced/finely diced
  • dash of Olive Oil
  • Salt & Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Add onion, chilli and garlic to a large pan over medium heat with a dash of olive oil. Gently fry until they begin to soften. Don't allow them to char.
  • Add in tomatoes, sugar, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Give it all a good stir.
  • For a quick chutney just place it on a rapid simmer and stir until it reduces down. This should take around 20 mins. Whilst it's quick, the texture won't be as thick/glossy and the flavours won't be quite as developed, but it still does the trick. Or, keep on a low simmer for 1-1.5 hours, stirring occasionally until the chutney reduced to a jammy consistency. 
  • Allow to cool then serve or store.
