Marrow & Plum (no onion) Chutney

This is a really lovely chutney the mix of fruit with vegetable is lovely & it goes just as well with cheese as with ham in sandwiches & also with meat, salad & cheese board. A very versatile chutney.
My chutneys are without onion through an allergy but obviously if you are ok then please add a large onion instead of the garlic

Made with red plums but also can be made with the big purple plums, these are even fruitier.

2 Heads of garlic

1 1/2 kilo Plums

1 1/2 kilo Marrow de-seeded & chopped, remove peel if this is tough

1 litre Vinegar

1 tbsp Ginger

1 tsp Nutmeg

2 tsp Allspice

2 tsp Cinnamon

2 tsp Salt

1 kilo Sugar

Peel & de seed marrow chop small. Crush & chop garlic. Put plums into pan with little water & gently heat to release stones. Remove with a skimmer spoon. Add Garlic & Marrow to pan & stir. Add spices & salt & stir well then add vinegar, stir & bring to boil. Simmer till soft then stir in sugar till it is dissolved.

Cook till chutney is thick & you leave a channel behind as you draw a spoon through it. Pour into pre sterilised jars & seal.

Store for three months to mature the tastes. Will keep for over a year.
