Home Grown Tomatoes

Home Grown Tomatoes

We live in a flat with no outdoor space so growing things is generally a window sill gig. But that’s cool, we like to experiment. In the spring we had a shop bought Tomato which had found a hiding place at the back of the salad draw in the fridge where it was quietly returning to a composted state! So I cut in half and popped half in some compost in a big pot in the Bedroom / Dinning Room. I’ve no idea what variety they were other then “Salad Tomatoes” but it grew a vast amount of greenery and a few Tomatoes.....

First eaten return on our investment!

Green Tomato and Apple ChutneyThere were quite a number of green tomatoes in the community garden which were not likely to riped and we found some wind-fall apples. This green tomato and apple chutney is the perfect combination of sweet and savoury and works well with a curry.
 
Ingredients:-
 
450g (1 lb) green tomatoes, chopped
450g (1 lb) onions, minced
225g (1/2 lb) apples, cored and chopped
450g (1 lb) brown sugar
55g (2 oz) salt
300ml (1/2 pt) spirit vinegar
1 teaspoon whole Black Peppercorns
 
Method:-
 
(1) Combine all of the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the chutney has cooked down and thickened.
(2) While the chutney is still hot, ladle into sterilised jars, seal tightly and leave undisturbed overnight to set. Store in a cool dark place until ready to use.
