Does anyone have a good recipe for quince chutney? I had a delicious jar of it from Arrowtown, the colour was ruby red, have been trying to replicate it but no luck so far.

Ingredients
3 quinces, peeled, cored and cut into small cubes (cut quinces discolour quickly – once cut place them into water with juice of a lemon)
2 apples, peeled, cored and cut into small cubes
2 onions, peeled and chopped
½ cup cider vinegar
½ cup water (use the water the quinces have been in)
½ cup sugar (increase this if you like quite a sweet chutney)
1 cinnamon stick broken in half
1 tsp white peppercorns
1tsp ground coriander
2 tsps coriander seeds
2 tsps cardamom seeds (not the whole pods)
1 tsp ground cardamom
I tsp ground ginger
1 cms piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated
1 star anise
1 tsp salt
Handful of raisins, sultanas or dried cranberries or a mixture of any
Zest and juice of 2 limes

Method

Place the quinces, apples and onions in a large pot with the vinegar, water and sugar. Bring to the boil and then simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients except the lime juice. Simmer gently until the chutney thickens – this could take an hour or longer. During the last 5 minutes add the lime juice.

Bottle in sterilised jars. Try and leave it for at least a week before you start eating it.
