Fruit Chutney - a more fruit version of mango chutney, lovely if you like a bit of sweetness with your crackers, I use it in homemade stuffing balls

600g apples, peeled and chunked
900g pears, peeled and chunked
1 large mango, peeled and chunked
150g dried apricots, chunked
150g sultanas (optional i dont use)
350g demerara sugar
4cm piece of root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
250 ml cider vinegar
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard (optional)
1 tsp cinammon

place everything into a pan
heat stirring gently until sugar dissolves
heat gently for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally until you have a thick syrupy texture and it retains shape for a while when dragging a spoon through it
put in sterilised warmed jars
store in dark place for at least a week before eating
