I made this lovely simple chutney recipe this morning using up the end of my garden pears. I did make a few changes by using only one large onion and adding a handful of dried chopped apricots . Everything gently bubbled away for 40mins approx before thickening. I used a wide bottomed pan as I think…

How long do you have to store this for before using?

Hi, thanks for your question. It's perfectly fine to eat it as soon as you like, although chutneys really improve if you can leave them to mature for a few weeks in a cool, dry, dark place such as a cupboard. We'd suggest at least a month if you can wait! We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.
