Unfortunately it did not go as smoothly as last year. I had some helpers getting it into the pot and it bubbled quite happily all day. I repeatedly forgot it was there, only to be reminded by the aroma each time I came near the kitchen. Late afternoon I came in to find the aroma had changed and it was burning on the bottom of the stock pot.

I removed it all, washed the stock pot, being careful not to scratch the surface and then returned the chutney to the pot to finish. At about 10:30 at night it reached the right thickness and I proceeded to put it in jars. I was nearly finished when I took a jar off the cooling rack. This left three full jars at the other end, which tipped the rack and they all fell off the rack on to the floor, breaking on impact. So it was 11:00 by this time, I had chutney and glass on the floor and wasn’t enjoying the experience anymore. I continued to finish putting the chutney in jars stepping back and forth over the mess to do so. When I finished I cleaned up the mess and went to bed.

So, yes, there is chutney!

But no chutney this time?
Perhaps there is still some from last year’s production line.

How do you do this so promptly. I can only aspire to the technical capabilities of my dear techie friend.
I’ll bring my camera and download photos of your family on your computer tomorrow…that’s it…that’s what I can do…!
