This is a favourite of ours and all our families and even friends. I make loads of it - not that we eat that much but it is lovely to have lots to give away through the year. We never eat any other chutney now.
1 kg ripe peaches, peeled, stoned and sliced
250g dates, chopped
275g onions, chopped
500g sugar
125g crystallized ginger, sliced
250ml tarragon vinegar (or white vinegar and a bit of tarragon or other herb)
125ml malt vinegar
Mix all ingredients except the peaches in a large, heavy pot. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the peaches and continue cooking for about 20 mins more or until well blended and thickened (you may need to mash a little with a potato masher).
Makes about 5 jars of various sizes.
