All types of chutney beckon me, and I was not disappointed with this one! I made half the quantity listed - there are only so many jars my pantry can hold! Easy to make and although I know this will mellow and age, the teaspoon I had as I was bottling this, was fruity and bursting with flavour. I will come back and add to my review later. Thanks Mike for yet another winner! FT:-) N.B.I used malt vinegar and normal raisins - this made my chutney slightly darker I suspect.
