I found that I didn't have space for 500g of veg. I used apples and sultana's then let it simmer down so I could fit the veg in (beetroot and carrot). There was still quite a lot of liquid after 6 hours so I took some out, used it as a marinade on my chicken dinner and let the chutney cook with the lid off for a couple more hours. Very tasty.

I have used this for a base and now I going to try doing a spicy farmhouse chutney, this was easy to follow and make and tasted yummy
