Green tomato chutney

2026-10-15T08:00:00Z

Every October there's a bowl of green tomatoes that won't ripen. This is where they go.

Chop 1 kg of green tomatoes, 2 onions and 2 apples.
Simmer with 300 ml cider vinegar, 250 g brown sugar and a spoon each of mustard seeds and salt.
Cook gently for about two hours, until thick, then spoon into clean jars.

Leave it a month before opening. It's better for the wait.

What the tomatoes taught me this year

2026-10-08T08:00:00Z

Three varieties went in this year. Here's how they did:

Variety	Planted	First ripe	Verdict
Gardener's Delight	April	July	Grow again
San Marzano	April	August	Worth it for sauce
Black Krim	May	September	Too late for our summer

For next spring

Start seeds two weeks earlier.
Fewer plants, more space between them.
Mulch before the first heat, not after.
