Need a good apple chutney recipe......that doesn't have green tomatoes (I'm still hoping to get a decent number to ripen!) or plums (as the wild plum harvest has failed). I know, I could buy plums, but thats not the point is it? 
Anyone have a good 'un?

Excellent, thank you 
I've been playing with making chutney in the pressure cooker today. Turns out to be not such a bad way of doing it.
I especially like the look of your top recipe there, sounds like quite a sweet, old fashioned chutney.
