Mary Berry’s green tomato chutney is a slow-cooked mixture of firm, unripe tomatoes, apples, onions, sugar, and vinegar. It transforms into a rich, tangy condiment that’s perfect for storing, gifting, and serving throughout the year.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1kg green tomatoes, chopped

  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped

  • 2 apples, peeled and diced

  • 250g brown sugar

  • 300ml malt vinegar or cider vinegar

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 tsp ground ginger

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

Step 1: Prep All Ingredients

Dice the green tomatoes, apples, and onions into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.

Step 2: Add Everything to the Pan

Combine tomatoes, onions, apples, sugar, vinegar, spices, garlic, salt, and lemon zest in a large saucepan.

Step 3: Start Heating Gently

Heat on medium until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Bring to a Boil

Once bubbling, reduce heat to low so the mixture simmers steadily.

Step 5: Slow-Simmer the Chutney

Simmer uncovered for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring often to prevent sticking.

Step 6: Check for Proper Thickness

The chutney is ready when it becomes thick, glossy, and holds its shape on a spoon without watery liquid underneath.

Step 7: Jar the Chutney

Spoon hot chutney into sterilized jars. Seal immediately.

Step 8: Let it Mature

Allow at least 2 weeks for flavors to deepen before serving.
