Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 900g (2lbs) limes
- 11g (1 tbsp) salt
- 450g (1lb) onions, chopped
- 2 chillies, finely chopped
- 500ml (2 cups) apple cider vinegar
- 85g (1/2 cup) raisins
- 330g (1 1/2 cups) sugar
Instructions
- Wash the limes then quarter them. Remove the pips and slice thinly.
- Put the cut limes into a bowl and evenly sprinkle them with salt. Proceed to cover the bowl with a cloth and let it sit for a minimum of 6 hours, allowing the marination process to take place. You can leave it overnight if desired, but do not exceed that time.
- Tip the lime mixture along with the rest of the ingredients in a preserving pan.
- Stir the contents over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Crank up the heat and let the mixture reach a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer.
- Continue to cook uncovered for 45 minutes or until the chutney has thickened. Do give it a stir every now and then to prevent the food from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Spoon into hot, sterilised jars. Seal and then let it cool down.
- Label the jars, then let the chutney mature for at least a month before opening. Enjoy!
Notes
- To go easier on the heat for the chutney, deseed the chillies first before adding to the mix.
