Red Onion and Tomato Chutney

I love, love, love chutney and have been playing around with this recipe for a year or so now and think I finally have it right.  Its quick and really easy to make, but best of all it tastes great!

Ingredients:
1kg red onions, sliced
(not too thin I use the 4mm blade on my KitchenAid food processor)
1kg tomatoes, roughly chopped
(I always use a mix of roma, cherry and normal tomatoes at a minimum and then add whatever else I have in the kitchen.  The variety really does make a big difference)
2 bulbs garlic, chopped
4 red chillis, chopped
(I sometimes used dried chilli but fresh is best)
Small chunk of ginger , peeled and chopped
(I am not a big ginger fan so don't use alot, if you want more just add it)
500g brown sugar
200ml white vinegar
100 ml balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp cardamom
1 tsp allspice
vegetable oil
(or olive if you dont have vegetable)

Instructions:

Select some jars and sterilise them, I prefer them to be all different shapes and sizes. Its a good idea to have them ready when the chutney is done

Put onions in a large pan and sprinkle with oil, cover and turn heat to medium.

Sweat the onions until reduced in volume by about half (make sure you don't fry the onions)

Add the garlic, chillis, ginger, sugar, cardamon and allspice – mix thorughly then add the tomatoes & both vinegars and bring to the boil

Lower the heat and simmer for a couple of hours, stirring regularly (the more people that stir, the better it tastes!)

When cooked store in sterililsed jars and be sure to share it around.
Enjoy!
