We have two apple trees at each corner at the end of our garden. The one on the left was packed with apples this year, probably because of the warmer than average temperatures. The tree on the right is taller and more exposed. It’s apples wwre less plentiful, but much sweeter.

I have collected apples from both trees and have decided to make apple chutney. This will be a good way of preserving  the apples.

Ingredients:

1.5 kg apples, peeled and diced

750g light muscovado sugar

500g raisins

2 medium onions, finely chopped

2tsp mustard seeds

2tsp ground ginger

1tsp salt

700ml cider vinegar

Family members are suggesting I make apple crumble as well. I will check out my Mary Berry cookbook.
