Hawthorn Berry Chutney
2lbs. hawthorn berries (it pays to look for the fatter ones)
1pint cider vinega1 teaspoon salt
four ounces raisins
three quarters of a pound brown sugar
1 teaspoon each ground nutmeg and ground ginger
quarter teaspoon each ground cloves and ground allspice
freshly ground black pepper

Snip haws from stalk with sharp scissors and wash. put berries in large pan with vinegar and salt, bring to the boil, cover and simmer steadily for an hour. Rub contents of pan through a sieve or mouli into a clean pan (or into a bowl and wash original pan)  You should have about a pint of pulp.
Add the rest of the ingredients using a fair old grind of black pepper and bring to the boil, stirring all the time.
Simmer in the uncovered pan, stirring a bit until the mixture is thick, 15 to 20 minutes. pour into warm jars, leave to cool and cover. Good with all cold meats, poultry and cheese. (or an interesting gift for someone)
You can leave the raisins out and, after sieving, cook for just 10 minutes to make a sweet/spicy sauce which can be bottled and stored.
