Martin's been to Lincolnshire Pond Plants, who are busy moving to a larger site! We've got listeners' questions on clematis and basil, there's an update on the suspect Venus fly-trap seeds and the usual weekly garden tasks!
Pauline’s Dad’s Green Tomato Chutney Recipe
Makes about 1 ½ kg or 3 ½ lb
1.2kg (2 ½ lb) green tomatoes roughly chopped
2 onions, peeled and chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
Thumb size piece of root ginger, peeled & finely sliced
3 large cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped
225g (8oz) sultanas or raisins
1 level tbspn yellow mustard seeds
1 level tbspn salt
½ cinnamon stick
2 pieces star annise
280ml (½ pint) cider vinegar
140ml (¼ pint) orange juice
450g (1lb) light muscovado sugar
Sterilised jars and lids
Method
Put all the ingredients, except the sugar into a preserving pan and place over a medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 1-1 ½ hours until the ingredients have softened.
Remove from the heat and add the sugar. Stir until it dissolves
Return to the heat and simmer for approx. 1 hour until the mixture has thickened
Stir occasionally but as it starts to thicken stir a little more to stop the chutney from catching on the bottom of the pan
