🥒 Marrow Chutney

Shared by: Melinda

🧺 Ingredients

  • 1.5kg marrow — chopped into small chunks
  • 3 large cooking apples
  • 450g onions (finely chopped)
  • 250g sultanas (or raisins)
  • 450g soft brown sugar
  • 600ml malt vinegar
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp ground ginger
  • 2 tbsp mixed pickling spice (tied securely in a small piece of muslin cloth)

🍳 Method

  1. 🧂 Salt the marrow and leave covered overnight to draw out excess moisture.
  2. 🚿 Rinse and drain thoroughly.
  3. 🍲 Place the marrow, apples, onions, sultanas, sugar, vinegar, ginger and the muslin spice bag into a large pan.
  4. 🔥 Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 1.5–2 hours, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. 🍯 The chutney is ready when it becomes dark, thick and jammy. Remove the spice bag, then ladle into warm, sterilised jars and seal tightly.
