Caramelised honey chutney
2 level tsp black peppercorns
1 level tsp whole pickling spice
3lb marrow peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1lb ripe tomatoes, skinned and roughly chopped
8 oz onions, skinned and roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, skinned and roughly chopped
2 level tsp salt
2 level tsp ground ginger
2 ozs sultanas
2lb 8 ozs granulated sugar
4 oz honey
1 1/4 pint of cider or white vinegar (I used cider)
makes 4-5lb
Finely crush peppercorn and pickling spice in pestle and mortar
Put all ingredients in a preserving pan and heat gently until the sugar has disolved
Bring to the boil and boil steadily for about 50 mins (mine took much longer) or until reduced by half.
Stir occasionally until caramelised
Allow to cool and place in steralised jars.
It should end up a lovely amber colour.
Would be good with a curry instead of mango chutney

That sounds really lovely Bionic. Trouble is I dont know where I'd get a marrow over here. Ive never (that I can remember) seen one for sale over here. Could you use courgettes or would the taste be too strong?

Mary, There really isn't much difference in a large courgette and a marrow so I would think you could use them.
