Today we all gathered at Mandy and Graeme's to make chilli tomato chutney for Tash and Todd to give away to their wedding guests.

    Tash made up the little bags of spices to add to....

 

beautiful roma tomatoes from Fremantle....

 

and apples, onions, garlic and chilli.

 

Tash , the overseer...and notice Mandy who cut ALL the onions.

 

Men at work....Tash reading the recipe (again!)

 

We could fit four pots on the stove inside and one outside on the barbecue burner, the smell was quite strong.

 

All the little jars that Tash bought were washed and sterilized in the oven.

 

I poured the chutney into the jars, Tash put the lids on and Jo cleaned the outside of the jars.  It was a new experience for me...I've never made chutney (nor jam) before.

 

I took this photo from Mandy's stairs....Ash and Graeme were outside at this stage supervising the three dogs.  It was a wonderful afternoon, such fun and we thought the chutney tasted pretty good as well.
