I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Drop ginger, chillies and garlic onto running blades at Speed 8; turn off.
- Add half of the tomatoes, onion, apples, vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds and salt and chop 5 seconds/Speed 5. Scrape the sides of the TM bowl with the spatula, add the remaining tomatoes and chop again 5 seconds/Speed 5.
- Add the raisins or sultanas and cook 45 minutes/100°C/Speed 3/
"Counter-clockwise operation" . Replace the measuring cup with the simmering basket to allow steam to escape and the chutney to thicken. When your chutney starts to sputter (which it invariably will), be sure to increase to Speed 4 to create a vortex in the centre of the bowl and stop boiling onto the lid. Check doneness and if not thickened, cook 20 minutes/100°C/Speed 4/"Counter-clockwise operation" or until your chutney has nicely thickened. Don’t hesitate to repeat if required, testing for doneness each time. (It's like checking if your jam has thickened.) - Pot into sterilised jars while the chutney is still warm. Seal and leave for 6 weeks to mature – if you can wait that long!
Make your chutney
Tip
Riverford Organic Farms has some interesting tips on sterilising your jars
- “Use sterilised jars for this recipe and pot the chutney into jars while they are still warm. If using old jars that still smell of the previous contents, add a little bicarbonate of soda and hot water, leave for a couple of minutes, wash and rinse well before using. Make sure any old labels are also fully removed. Sterilise the jars by washing and rinsing them and put in a pan of cold water. Heat until the water is boiling and boil the jars for 10 minutes. Alternatively wash and rinse them and place them upside down in a cold oven. Heat at a low temperature (160°C or 140°C if a fan oven) for 10 minutes. Sterilise the lids in boiling water too. Use metal lids only if they have a plastic lining to stop the vinegar reacting with the metal.”
Madame Thermomix’s Top Tips
- I personally use either the oven sterlising method at just 120°C or I sterilise smaller jars in the Varoma of my Thermomix
And don’t forget to sterilise your jam funnel, too! - I always place my empty jars on a folded tea towel before filling with hot liquids. This helps absorb some of the heat and seems to prevent my jars from shattering. Always use caution when processing hot liquids!

My husband uses this chutney on everything.
Thank you for sharing.
This has become my 'go to' recipe for green tomato chutney. I vary it slightly on occasion - sometimes adding more of the spices for extra bite. And this year has been a bumper crop of green tomatoes I needed to harvest before we went away so the pantry is looking fabulous! Thanks again for a great recipe.
Thanks for the recipe. Made it yesterday and will make it again today to use the last of my green tomatoes. Tastes delicious already and I can't wait for it to mature!
Used dried chilli flakes (1 tsp), doubled the ginger and halved the sugar as adding sultanas. Delicious! Had a reasonable chilli kick. I’d make it again.
Thank you for the lovely recipe, it is delicious. Can't wait for it to mature
"Closed lid" 
"Gentle stir setting"
Perfect way to use the last of the tomatoes before winter & delicious to boot ! I used pears instead of apples added cut into 1/8 with sultanas and powdered mustard and shallots instead of onions due to intolerance.
Thanks for this recipe. Delicious!! Followed recipe but substituted brown sugar with 60g Xylitol. Used a mix of onions and shallots. Added the sultanas. Could probably use less chilli as was a bit spicy for my liking but hubby loved it.
Fabulous recipe, tastes amazing and love the hint of heat from the chillies
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipe! I followed your recipe to the letter and added the optional sultanas. The relish is a delicious taste explosion of sweet zinging goodness. I will be making this again!
