Method

  • step 1

    Put the onions in a large pan with the ginger and vinegar. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the rhubarb, plus 2 tsp salt to the pan and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer, uncovered, for about 10 mins until the apples are tender.

  • step 2

    Stir in the rhubarb and cook, uncovered, until the chutney is thick and jammy, about 15-20 mins. Leave the chutney to sit for about 10-15 mins, then spoon into warm, clean jars, and seal. Label the jars when cool. Keep for at least a month before eating.

Delicious! This is the tastiest chutney I’ve made. I’m looking forward to making more when rhubarb season arrives.

Just opened a jar of this chutney I made 4 months ago and it is possibly the best cherry I have ever tasted! I made it with a surplus of tart cooking apples from our tree but didn’t have quite as much rhubarb as the recipe calls for which just means the key bulk ingredients can be liberally adjusted…

My husband and I made this chutney with rhubarb from a friends allotment and apples from a neighbour’s tree. We followed the method exactly and I’m pleased to say it is delicious. Now what to do with our next gift of rhubarb?

Just finished this chutney! It’s delicious so much so I’ve just had a little on sourdough bread, cream cheese topped with chutney👌. I didn’t cut my rhubarb small enough, but it cooked down with a little help! I used dried English mustard powder as I didn’t have mustard seeds. A super easy recipe…

What can I substitute for the dates?

Hi, thanks for your question. You'll need something equally sweet such as raisins or sultanas - these should work well although please note we haven't tested it with these. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
