Core the apples (I leave the skins on though)
Mince apples, dates, sultanas and onions.
- Mix them altogether in a large bowl.
- Stir in the vinegar.

- Give it another stir to make sure that everything is well
mixed together and then just put into clean sterilised jars,
pop the lids on the jars and that is it!!

Will keep for one year in a cool dark
place. A bag of spice may be added for the 24 hours before bottling,
then removed. Wendy is not a chutney lover, but finds this one
delicious.
