As I have a surplus of both, made this yesterday and it tasted great!
( I threw in some torn fresh basil leaves right at the end)
1 1/2lb red tomatoes skinned and chopped
1 1/2 lb cooking apples weighed after peeling and coring, chopped
8 oz onions finely choppped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
12 oz sugar
1 teaspoon pickling spices (Omit if using spiced vinegar)
1/2 pint vinegar (brown or white)
4 oz dried fruit
Put onion in pan with 1/8 pint of the vinegar, simmer until nearly soft.
Add apples, Tomatoes and spice (Tied securely in a muslin bag), salt, ground ginger and just enough vinegar to stop the mixture from burning. (I didn't need to add any at this point)
Cook gently until the fruit is soft, stirring from time to time.
Add remaining vinegar, and thoroughly stir in sugar.
Boil steadily until the chutney is thick.
Remove spice bag if used, and pour hot chutney into hot jars.
Seal at once.
