We cleared down the last of our tomatoes at the weekend, to get them in before any frosts. A lot were still green, but realistically there’s no chance that they will ripen now. We picked the small matter of 28lbs of the things!

SWMBO has made a tomato sauce out of the ripe ones, but the rest are going into chutney – and that many tomatoes need a lot of vinegar, apples, onions and sugar!
The brother has suggested that this beast, 1lb in weight, should be made into an individual batch of chutney – much like a single-cask whisky…
