Vanessa’s De Beauvoir Chutney ( 5x 500g jars)

An excellent chutney which used to be sold in the De Beauvoir Deli in Southgate Road, Islington. I found the recipe in ” Notes from a Small Kitchen Island” by Debora Robertson. It will improve over time and is best stored for a couple of months in a cool dry place before opening.Unopened jars will keep for a year Once opened, store in the fridge and eat within two weeks.

Chilli con Carne (4)

This is Thomasina Miers version and I cannot think of anyone better to turn to for a definitive recipe. If you cannot get hold of chipotles en adobe mix two tablespoons of tomato puree or ketchup with a tablespoon of hot smoked pimenton and add dried chillies to taste. Make this the day before if you can as the flavour will be much improved the next day.

Tomato Kasundi

This comes from India and is my go to recipe for tomato chutney. Its very easy to make and can be served with samosas, curries or rice dishes. And sometimes even with your cooked breakfast if wished. It will make 5-6 350 ml jars and is from the excellent ” The Modern Preserver” by Kylee Newton.
