Notes

This recipe will make 5 or 6 jars of Apple Chutney. 
I use a 6.5 litre Morphy Richards Sear and Stew slow cooker but please bear in mind that not all slow cookers are the same. If your chutney is still too wet after the time stated in the recipe, then you might have to put it on HIGH for a time to get the right consistency. If you are in a hurry, you can finish the chutney off on the stove.
