Recipe for runner bean chutney (4 replies)

Hi,

This is what I have used, still waiting for my month to be up before I try it though. 

ngredients
1lb runner beans
3/4lb onions
3/4lb sugar (ideally an even split of demerara and soft brown sugar)
3/4 tablespoon turmeric powder
3/4 tablespoon mustard powder
3/4 tablespoon cornflower
3/4 pint malt vinegar
Optional – 1 teaspoon curry or ginger powder

Chop up the beans – a mix of young and old will make for a good texture – and boil until tender.

Finely chop the onions (hold back the tears) and boil in most of the vinegar until soft.

Mix the remaining ingredients with the left over vinegar, drain the beans and combine the lot into one pan. Boil this up for about 15 minutes.

Put the chutney into clean, sterilised jars – but remember, don’t put hot chutney into cold glass (or visa versa) – and leave for a minimum of one month before eating.
