Tastes great - sweet with a kick. (Warning - watch the chillis).

We used apples from our apple tree, excluded the raisins, and added ground cloves because we love that flavour. Easy, delicious. The batch filled 4 medium jars.

A simply fantastic recipe. A lovely tang, without being overwhelming. It has a great sweet and sour taste. Love it and will definitely keep a supply in the pantry! It goes really well with crackers and cheese too!

I made this and it is very good. I gave some jars to my girls and thier families and they like this very much also. It is a mix between sweet and sour. I used canned diced tomatoe's and canned diced chili peppers in place of fresh, but it was good just the same.
