Gooseberry chutney

Updated on 9 October 2026

• Makes: ± 3 jars
• Time: 1.5 hours
• From: Gooseberry

Ingredients

• 750 g gooseberries
• 1 onion
• 150 g brown sugar
• 200 ml cider vinegar
• 75 g raisins
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• ½ tsp mustard seeds
• ½ tsp salt

Method

1. Top and tail the gooseberries and finely chop the onion.
2. Put all the ingredients in a heavy-based pan and bring to the boil.
3. Simmer gently without a lid for about an hour, stirring regularly, until the chutney is thick and a spoon leaves a trail across the pan.
4. Fill clean, hot jars with the hot chutney and close at once.
5. Leave the jars for 2 to 4 weeks before opening: the flavour mellows.

Storing: Unopened, a year in a cool, dark place; once opened, keep in the fridge. Lovely with cheese, pâté or smoked mackerel.
