Green Tomato Chutney
3 lb. green tomatoes
2 lb. cooking apples
3/4 lb. shallots or onions
1 3/4 c. sugar
3/4 lb. sultanas or currants
4 Tbsp. salt
2 tsp. mixed pickling spice (or use 2 tsp ginger root)
9 peppercorns
6 cloves
2 1/2 c. vinegar
Peel apples. Cut tomatoes, apples and onions into small pieces Tie the spices in a muslin bag. Put all ingredients into pan (not an iron pan). Bring all to a boil and simmer for about 5 hours, stirring occasionally. The mix should thicken and turn golden brown. Put in bottles, and store for at least 3 months. Makes 16 cups.
It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.

Have A Bit of Salad Dressing Leftover?
Don't throw it out. You can stretch it out by adding several teaspoons of vinegar and shaking well. Add 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix well. You have a tasty "new" dressing.
