Notes:

You can flavour the chutney the way you like. You can add black pepper, cinnamom or Garam masala or even funnel seeds or melon seeds to it.
You can also add onion, ginger or even green chilli to it.
Instead of malt vinegar red wine vinegar or cider vinegar can be used.
It is better if you leave the chutney for a week or so to allow the flavours to develop.
To make chutney do not use aluminium or any other metal pan that can react with vinegar.
To sterilise the jars and lids,you can put them through a hot dishwasher cycle that is at least 60 C. Do not dry them with a tea towel, leave them to dry completely in dish washer or air dry.Or else you can also preheat the oven to 140C, wash the lids and jars in hot water and place them in the oven for 15 minutes. Switch off the oven and remove the lids and jars once cool.
