One of the joys of summer is the garden bursting with fruit and vegetables.
Regrettably, courgettes, marrows and tomatoes tend to get a little carried away and produce far quicker than most people are able to consume!
Here's two recipes that will help you use up that glut and enjoy it for weeks and months to come.
Recipe for Marrow / Courgette / Zucchini Chutney
5lb marrow or courgettes (zucchini)
2lb tomatoes (fresh or tinned)
1lb onions
6-8 cloves of garlic
3lb soft pale brown sugar
6oz sultanas
4 tbsp Salt
1 tbsp peppercorns
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp allspice
2 pints
If using marrow, remove skin and the cotton-like core
Chop marrow in to cubes (2-3cm) or cut courgettes into slices
Roughly chop the tomatoes
Chop the onions and finely chop or crush the garlic
Put all ingredients into a large pan
Bring slowly to the boil, stirring occasionally
Cook slowly until mixture is tender and thick, but not too dry
Use spoon or ladle to put into hot, clean jars
Seal
For a glut of tomatoes, here's a nice spicy relish to keep.
Recipe for Spicy Tomato Relish
1lb tomatoes
1 green pepper
1lb onions
1lb apples
3 cloves garlic
1/2 pint vinegar

1/2 tsp mixed spice

Simmer until thick and tender (roughly 30-60 minutes)

Boil for one minute
Ladle into hot, clean jars and seal
