Method

  • step 1

    Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a dry frying pan until aromatic. Tip into a mortar and coarsely grind with the pestle. Toast the mustard seeds in the same pan until they start to pop, then add to the other spices. Tip the spices into a large pan with the chillies, onions, ginger and vinegar. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the onions are softened.

  • step 2

    Add the chopped apples, grapes, sugar and 1 tsp salt, and bring to the boil, stirring. Boil hard, stirring from time to time, for about 15-25 mins until the mixture is thick and pulpy.

  • step 3

    Pot into warm sterilised jars (see tip, below), seal and label. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.

RECIPE TIPS
STERILISING YOUR JARS

Wash in hot soapy water, rinse, then drain and set upright in a roasting tin in one layer. Put in the oven at 180C/ 160C fan/gas 4 for 10 mins. If your jars have a rubber seal, remove before putting the jars in the oven. To sterilise the seals, simply boil in water.

question

Can you use ground coriander or ground cumin instead of seeds, and if so, how much please?

Hi, can I use red grapes instead? Our grape vine has excelled itself this year!

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes absolutely. You'll get a different colour but it should still be delicious. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Is that 1kg before peeling and coring, or after? I made this last year and was immense, but can't remember what I did.

Hi, thanks for your question. This is the weight before preparing (unless the apples have a lot of blemishes then you can add an extra apple or two). We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Just made this and it smells delicious! How long should I leave it before we eat it?

Hi, thanks for your question. Whilst you could eat it as soon as you like, chutneys are generally better after 1-2 months of storage. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
