 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       lb           Dates (stoneless)
  1       lb           Apples
  1       lb           Sultanas
  1       lb           Brown sugar
  2 1/2   c            Vinegar
  1       t            Salt
  1       t            Cayenne pepper
  1       tb           Pickling spices,
                       -tied in a muslin bag
          sm           Ginger piece

 Mince the dates, apples and onions and place in a
 large pan.  Add the sultanas and stir in the sugar.

 Add all the other ingredients and stir well, but make
 sure the bag of spices and the ginger are
 identifiable. Leave for 24 hours but stir occasionally
 (once every 4 hours or so).

 Remove the bag of spices and ginger.  Bottle and store
 in a coolish place. Eat.

 NOTES:

 *  An easy chutney with no cooking -- This recipe
 filtered down to me through a grapevine of neighbours.
 You will need a supply of jam-jars, jam-jar covers and
 a large pan to keep the ingredients in. Yield: Makes
 several jars.

 *  I sometimes use currents in place of the stoneless
 dates, in which case you don't need to mince them. If
 the mixture appears too liquid after the 24 hour
 standing time, it is worth draining off some of the
 vinegar before bottling.

 *  The beauty of this recipe is that you don't have a
 vast pot of strange things bubbling away on the stove
 for hours.  A big win!

 : Difficulty:  easy.
 : Time:  25 minutes preparation, 24 hours standing
 time. : Precision:  approximate measurement OK, but
 don't go overboard with the vinegar.
