Gooseberry and Ginger Chutney

Can I recommend that you make a batch of this Gooseberry and Ginger Chutney at the end of the summer and then eat it right through the fall? I have one lone gooseberry bush in my garden which produces just enough berries each year for this chutney. Lucky for me! I love to add a bit of ginger and cayenne to this chutney to give a nice hint of heat.

I make this chutney by first cooking the gooseberries until they soften. Then I add onions and vinegar and cook some more before adding the rest of the ingredients and boiling until the mixture thickens. When it cools, I ladle the chutney into jars and store until fall.

To make Gooseberry and Ginger Chutney, you will need the following ingredients:
