I followed this recipe in September and made 6 jars. The men in our house are already on their third so I am thinking... as I have some ripe frozen tomatoes in the freezer which I was planning to preserve for stew etc. I'm now going to try out this same recipe in the hope that they will enjoy another good batch. I would hate to deviate too much from your original recipe as the whole family think it's so scrumptious (giving it 5 stars) So I will be making a small amount first by straining the defrosted toms to get some of the excess water out before chopping. I am not expecting it to taste exactly the same - but for me it is well worth a try with maybe a few tweaks in preparation and cooking time. ):
So glad l cane across your video....first time lv grown tomatoes and not one has turned red due to the abysmal weather conditions....so lv gathered all the crop in because the temperatures at night have been 5°....so l thought wot l need is a recipe for green tomato chutney...ta da..l found you lol...cheers...hopefully next year l will have a better crop...👍
That's cool, glad you found it and hope you enjoy it. With you on the terrible year for tomatoes. On six plants I've managed to grow only 5 tomatoes this year.
Been another funny year for tomatoes! They have slow ripening again. Picking a bowl every two or three days. Looking after my sister in law's as well so have been doing chutney so they don't get wasted. 35 jars so far.
That is a lot of chutney, you are doing better than me. I planted the same amount of plants in the same place as in the video and have had 5 tomatoes so far 😪
Interesting with the spices. I always use a bit of grated ginger and garam masala. I found an old recipe that said quatre epice which turned out to be garam masala. I also invert the jars when they are hot and back again. You then hear them popping when they cool. I think it is a vacuum thing. Spoon a bit in your gravy when you do roast pork. Lifts it in my humble opinion. Keep up the creations. I’ve just made 2kg of plum jam in 30 degree heat. Family better be grateful. 😡🤣🤣
Never heard of inverting the jars before, always good to learn new techniques. I'll give it a go next time. Definitely with you on the heat, I spent as much time focusing on not turning into a puddle of sweat as I did the filming 🥵
This recipe does use malt vinegar so red wine wouldn't make it much darker. I haven't tried it but if you really want a darker chutney you could try using 50% Balsamic vinegar in there. It's going to be an intense flavour but Balsamic and tomatoes is a classic combination.

Wonderful recipe. Delicious. Easy to make. Much appreciated.

Excellent recipe. Made it was worth it to not waste the green onions. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching, so glad you liked it
Looks good. I’ll try.
Nice recipe! I shall also add garlic and fresh ginger. Like your choice of spices.
Thank you, glad you like it. The garlic and ginger sounds great.

I just learned that last year at 65 . I swear by it nowv
Would it be possible to use malt vinegar/red wine vinegar to give it a darker colour?

I freeze dry sliced green tomatoes so I can have fried green tomatoes all year round. Take the other pieces left over and make relish n chutney.
Sounds like a great idea, I've never tried freezing fresh tomatoes
