A Red Tomato Glut

Tuesday wasn’t a brilliant day by any means. Whilst we didn’t actually have much rain it seemed wet all day and it didn’t seem like a day for visiting the plot. As you can see no serious rain but well spread throughout the day.
Believe it or not after all our problems of waiting weeks for our tomatoes to ripen they’ve all decided to turn together so we’ve a mini glut. I decided it would be an afternoon in the kitchen and set about to make some tomato chutney, red tomato chutney. I decided to use the recipe from the BBC Good Food Guide. I stuck to the recipe as near as possible. My onion was a little too large but it all went into the pot.
Now it doesn’t look anything like as good as it tastes. Perhaps it will look more appetising once it’s put into some jars. However it has been taste tested and passed with flying colours. I’ve still some tomatoes left so I might have to make some tomato sauce too. I don’t think I’m going to have to bother with green tomato chutney with the pace that our tomatoes are turning at the moment.

  1. I thought we were all in for green tomato chutney this year. My tomatoes are ripening well on the windowsill, the taste was well worth the wait.
