Yellow Plum Chutney

Smooth and spicy, similar to a good mango chutney.
From http://www.notmuchhassle.com
Makes 2 jars

3 lbs plums weighed after being pitted and halved
1 large onion - chopped
thumb sized piece ginger, grated
300g sugar
6 fl oz vinegar
2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chilli
pinch ground cardamon

Put plums into a pan, bring to boil then lower heat to simmer for about 15 minutes until lots of juice appears.

Strain off most of the juice and use for something else.*

Add onion and ginger to the plums and simmer for another 15 minutes.

Blitz with a hand blender or in a liquidiser then push through a sieve and return to a clean pan.

Add vinegar, sugar and spices.

Bring to boil then simmer until thickened, stirring to avoid the chutney burning.

Pour into sterilised jars.

* Mix the plum juice with a little sugar and store in the fridge to mix with sparkling water for a refreshing drink.
