    Onion chutney. And it IS divine. Add it to burgers or steak and you will regret having wasted so many years without it.

      Something like that anyway, not made it before. Perhaps a little closer to branston pickle? Less sugar than you would normally have in a chutney and sugar isn’t necessary for preservation as you get that from the vinegar.

        The onions still do the heavy lifting, I guess, and “a few bottles of malt vinegar” sounds a little excessive.

        I personally prefer pure caramelized onions without any other ingredients except a bit of salt, to be honest. Won’t keep as long in the fridge but is the most versatile.

          It was a lot of veg in total, onions being quite a large amount of it. Even with all the vinegar, you couldn’t see it above the veg. Used a 21L stock pot although it didn’t fill it overly high, but would have been too much for any of my other saucepans.

            Still sounds really great.

            I’m German, and whenever someone here claims the British have bad food I mention all the fantastic chutneys and pickles you guys have over there. Particularly fond of a thing called “Glorious Garlic Pickle” by The Bay Tree. I wish I had the recipe because they don’t ship to mainland Europe.

              We have quite a big pile of chutneys we bought recently, we always have them with cheese and biscuits on Christmas day.
