Crabapple Chutney

Ingredients
2 lbs crab apples
2/3 cup white vinegar
2 1/2 cups sugar (or Honey)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon ( i had run out , so substituted with Allspice)
juice of an orange
1 cup sultanas.

Method
Chip crab apples, combine all ingredients, just cover with water and simmer for an hour. Pour into hot sterilised jars.

Notes
After completely failing at trying to get jam to set i resigned at using Crab Apples for a spicey sweet chutney last year. I made around 10 kilner jars of the stuff.

This is not my own recipe. It was taken from the Green urban living website.
Its my sort of recipe though. The simplicity of chucking it all in a pot is perfect!

Chipping crabapple is my way of removing the core. I take the crab apple and thoroughly wash it in plain water. I then locate the core and cut off the four sides. You could do something good with the cores but i just chucked them.

Update
I still have loads of the stuff from a year ago so not making anymore just yet.
