my courgette and tomato chutney recipe…

15th September 2022
Looking for the perfect, homemade chutney recipe? Look no further...
It’s that time of year again. The courgettes keep coming up thick and fast and we have more tomatoes than we know what to do with… 
Enter my go-to courgette and tomato chutney recipe!

Carrie taught me how to make this last year and I’m pleased to say, it was a great success. With that in mind, if you too have an excess of veg coming out of the greenhouse, I highly recommend giving this chutney recipe a go.

Ps. Given that it tastes even better when its left to mature for a few months, if you make it now, you can gift it at Christmas! You’re welcome!

The ingredients:

Makes 1 litre
1 kg of courgettes
500g of onion
500g of ripe tomatoes
375g of soft brown sugar
1 pint of good quality apple cider vinegar
5 large cloves of garlic
3 inch piece of root ginger
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of ground black pepper
1 tsp of cayenne pepper

The method:
  1. Roughly chop all vegetables in to small chunks, crush the garlic and grate the ginger
  2. Place all ingredients in a chutney pan or heavy bottomed pan and bring to the boil
  3. Turn heat down to a simmer and allow to bubble away and reduce for anywhere between 3-6 hours until the chutney turns darker, almost all liquid has evaporated and the consistency is thick.
  4. Spoon in to sterilised jars and seal.
  5. Can be eaten straight away or kept to mature for 3-6 months.

Once opened, use within 3 weeks. Enjoy! 

So there you have it! A courgette and tomato chutney recipe of dreams!

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
The plum tree in our garden is always the first blossom to erupt at this time of year narrowly beating the much loved aubretia that grows in abundance through our old garden wall. As soon as is acceptable I’m out with my secateurs ready to fill vases and prickly jars with its delicate confetti like blooms 🌸
