Hi all,
Have read lots of threads containing talk of courgette chutney but not been able to find recipe - does anyone have one please? Too many courgettes again!
Cheers Wendy

Never mind chutney, I'm desparately trying to think of ways I can use them to insulate my loft, or run my car. I've taken to leaving them on people's doorsteps and running away.

LOL know exactly what u mean! Shame they cant be used for currency - I'd be very wealthy!

Yesterday morning - saw a friend and gave her a load of courgettes.

Yesterday afternoon - made double quantity courgette soup.

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

I make a lot of courgette pickles and chutneys, but I've used up my computer time for the day ( ) so will have to post the recipes later.

Now back to work!

Hi, For those of you who have too many courgettes here is a good recipe for courgette chutney.

750g courgettes, sliced
11/2 tbs salt
250g ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped
125g onions, chopped
125g sultanas
1 tbs coarsely grated orange rind
500g sugar
350ml spiced vinegar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
50g chopped walnuts

Put the courgettes in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Leave for 2 hours (or as long as you can- too much forward planning was needed for me), then rinse and dry.
Put all the ingredients in a large pan, except the walnuts, and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer until thickened, about 1 -11/2 hours, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan. then stir in the walnuts.
Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal.
Makes about 1.5 kg, 3 jars.
This is a sweet, spicy chutney with a good orange tang.
