I have had my apple, marrow and plum chutney on for 7 hours now and it still isn't thick. Is there anything I can add to help it please? I don't know what I have done wrong. It is Hugh FW's recipe shown here:http://www.rivercottage.net/SeasonalRecipes~August/122/Glutney.aspxI did use 50-50 wine and white vinegar as I didn't have any wine vinegar. The other problem is that it is very hot (spicy) as I added two teaspoons of chilli powder instead of sliced chilli. I have some tins of tomatoes which might make it less hot but this will make it even more runny. Your advice would be very welcome please.

Pauline I know this is probably a bit late but, if you have cooked this recipe for 7 hours (OMG!! 7 Hours!!) my guess is you left the lid on the cooking pan? If that is so then the excess liquid wouldnt be able to evaporate off so you tend to get a runny mix.At the most this recipe should have taken only about 1 hour to cook and if you cook for that long the flavours disapear.
i think if you cook anything for 7 hours it would tast mmmmmmmmm lets see burnt
I did burn some a few years back and then called it "Barbecue flavoured chutney". My son and his family really enjoyed it and every time I saw him he would ask if I had any more of it to give him. ;D
