I’ve got a whole bunch of green tomatoes over from my veggie garden and I’ve been investigating what to do with them.  Going to give this recipe a go (many thanks to Earthbabe from somewhere in the UK for publishing it xxx).

1.5 kg (3lb) green toms,

250g (0.5lb) onions,

1kg (2lb) cooking apples,

500g (1lb) brown sugar,

250g (0.5lb sultanas,

60g (2oz) mustard seeds (soaked for 3 hours),

4 chillies,chopped,

1tsp ground ginger,

2.5 cups (625mls) vinegar

1. Coarsely mince the onions and tomatoes and put into a large bowl.
2. Sprinkle with the salt and set aside for 24 hours. Strain.
3. Put the onions, toms and remaining ingredients into a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1.5hours.
4. Pour into warm sterilised jars and when cool, cover with two layers of greaseproof paper and one layer of aluminium foil. Tie securely with string.
