  • Spoon the hot chutney into sterilized jars, and seal the red onion chutney and it will keep for up to 12 months. Or let it cool and serve with cheese, toast, meat or salad.

Notes

If the onion chutney is too sweet, add more vinegar. You can also use balsamic vinegar but then the ready onion chutney will be browener, it will lose its rubin colour.
