Seasonal courgette chutney

courgettes

If you have a glut of courgettes this September, this chutney is the perfect solution! This recipe will make roughly 1.5kg, and is delicious with cold meats or to add seasonal flavour to a sandwich.

Instructions

  1. Put the courgettes into a colander and sprinkle with salt, leaving for 2 hours then rinse & pat dry
  2. Then add courgettes to a preserving pan with the remaining ingredients with the exception of the walnuts and heat gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer until thickened & then add in the chopped walnuts.
  3. Pour into hot sterilised jars and seal.

A special thank you to National Garden Scheme volunteer, Christine Sanderson, for sharing this family recipe.
