I went into the local market and the fruit and veg guys had a seriously good deal on. A huge bag of bananas for 50p. Now - I don't even want to think about how many airmiles these little yellow buggers have travelled - but it did give me a idea for saving money.
Banana Chutney
2lbs bananas
8oz dates
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
3/4 pint vinegar
8oz raisins
8oz brown sugar
1/2 pt syrup from any canned fruit
4 oz chopped crystallised ginger
2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons curry powder
Chop bananas into small pieces. Chop dates - put in pan with bananas. Add rind and juice of lemon with the vinegar. Cover pan ad simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours.
Stir in raisins,sugar,fruit syrup, ginger,salt and curry powder. Simmer the mix for 1/2 hour or until golden brown.
Put into hot jars and cover.
This chutney is sweet and spicy and is great with curries.
Don't be put off - making chutney is VERY VERY easy - and cheap - and uses up fruit that is past its eating best.
