Method

  1. Step 1:

    Gently heat the oil in large saucepan and add the onions to soften for approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to stop them browning.

  2. Step 2:

    Stir in 50g of the sugar and increase the heat until the onions start to caramelise. Continue to stir regularly to ensure they don’t burn. Lower the heat and add the remaining ingredients before leaving to gently simmer for 40-50 minutes or until the chutney is thick and dark, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. Step 3:

    Remove the bay leaves and spoon into sterilised jars. Leave to mature for a couple of weeks before enjoying.
