A couple of Saturdays ago I spent a delightful afternoon having lunch in the garden with friends.

Although a small child fell in the pond an unexpected bonus was that one of the guests brought me a box of apples from her garden.

Kathy, I doubt you'll ever make your own chutney, but if you do, here's your recipe.

Kathy's apples chutney ingredients

• 1kg apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
• 2 medium to large onions, peeled and roughly chopped

• 350g light muscovado sugar
• 500ml cider vinegar
