After making several more batches of spicy pear chutney, my wife used pretty much all the large green tomatoes we had left to make green tomato chutney. It’s a lovely smell to wake up to ? I think we now have getting on for forty jars all told, so that should see us through to the New Year if we’re not over-generous with it.
I also pickled all the jalapenos that were left. I failed to account for the much-increased heat of this year’s harvest, so didn’t wear any gloves whilst chopping them. Then shortly afterwards rubbed my nose, which was itching due to the aroma of the hot chiles and vinegar in the saucepan ? Just as well that I had no need to visit the bathroom before finding out…
