Depends on the quantities mate but if you keep your flavourings to bay leaf, cinnamon and clove, you cant go wrong in my opinion. just add as little or as much red wine vinegar/sugar as ya want with onion and garlic and stew down. If ya want a specific recipe just let me know i'll dig one out for ya. Just let me know the quantities ya want to make

Here is one I like.

SPICED PLUM AND LIME CHUTNEY

2kg cooked plums, stoned and roughly chopped
2 large onions, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic finely chopped
2 fresh green chillies, deseeded and chopped (go for red if you want to)
Grated rind and juice of 2 limes
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
2” of fresh root ginger, grated
600ml red wine vinegar
500g Demerara sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
25g Allspice berries
1 tsp black peppercorns


Put the cooked plums in a large pan with all the other ingredients except the cinnamon, Allspice berries and peppercorns. Grind the cinnamon, allspice and peppercorns to a powder. Add to the pan and bring slowly to a boil., stirring frequently until all the sugar has dissolved. Simmer uncovered for 1 ½ - 2 hrs until thick.

VARIATIONS

Substitute Damsons for plums

Replace the Allspice with 2 TBLSP coriander seed.
