Steps:
- To sterilise the jars: run them with the lids and any rubber seals through the hottest cycle of your dishwasher. If you don't have a dishwasher, give the jars a good wash, then heat them in the oven at 150C/130C fan/ gas 2 for 30 mins. Don't bake seals - boil them in a pan of water for 10 mins. If you don't have lids you can buy jam pot covers from cook shops which you can then cover with fabric.
- Prepare the ingredients: first, peel the garlic cloves and cut them into slivers. Peel and thinly shred the ginger. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onions, then put them in a large, wide saucepan or a preserving pan with the garlic and ginger. Peel, core and chop the apples, then add to the pan with the spices, vinegar and salt.
- Bring the pan to the boil over a gentle heat, give everything a good stir, then turn down the heat and cover the pan (if you don't have a lid use foil). Simmer for 30 mins until the apples are cooked and pulpy.
- While the apples are simmering, stone and quarter the plums, then add them to the cooked apples with the sugar. Stir well and leave to bubble away, this time uncovered, for another 40 mins stirring regularly until the plums are cooked but still retain some of their shape. Ladle into the sterilised jars, seal and label. Use our downloadable Christmas labels if you like.
- This chutney is best kept for about a month before eating as the vinegar needs a bit of time to mellow. If you don't want the flavour of the spices to develop any more, then take out the cinnamon and star anise before potting. It will keep for 1 year in a cool place but once opened store in the fridge and use within a month.

PLUM AND APPLE CHUTNEY
We have a Satsuma plum tree in our backyard that produces loads of plums every year. I'm always trying to come up with new ways to preserve plums. You can mix dried blueberries, dried cherries and or raisins. This is also great to serve over plain or vanilla yogurt as shown in one of my photos as a light dessert or intermezzo.

APPLE PLUM CHUTNEY
By using a combination of 2 types of apples, you get a blend of chunky and saucy textures and with the addition of cider, a deep apple flavour. The plum adds more fruitiness and an attractive colour. Serve with pork, ham or chicken -- or -- use as part of an appetizer over cream cheese or a wheel of brie cheese

SPICED PLUM CHUTNEY

Steps:
- Halve the plums and remove the pits if possible -- if the plums are very firm then leave the pits in to prevent wasting any flesh. In this case, allow 2 1/4 lbs. in weight.
- Cut the peeled and cored apples into small dice. Peel and chop the onions. Peel and mince the garlic.
- Put the plums, apples, onion and garlic into the pan with 1 1/4 cup vinegar, mixed spice, curry, ginger and cinnamon.
- Simmer gently until the fruits are soft. Remove the plum pits (if necessary)at this point.
- Add the sultanas, sugar and remaining 1 1/4 cup of vinegar. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil steadily until the consistency of a thick jam, stirring occasionally.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, then spoon into the hot jars and seal down.
Tips:
- Choose the right plums. Use firm, ripe plums that are not too soft or bruised. Greengage or Mirabelle plums are great options.
- Use a variety of apples. For a more complex flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples. Some good options include Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp.
- Don't skimp on the spices. The spices are what give this chutney its unique flavor. Be sure to use a generous amount of ginger, cumin, and chili powder.
- Let the chutney simmer for a while. The longer the chutney simmers, the more time the flavors have to meld together. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a thicker consistency.
- Canning is optional. If you want to store the chutney for longer than a few weeks, you can can it. Follow the instructions in the recipe for canning instructions.
Conclusion:
This spicy plum apple chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's great as a spread for sandwiches or crackers, as a glaze for grilled meats, or as a side dish for curries and stews. With its sweet, tangy, and spicy flavor, this chutney is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
