Tomato and marrow chutney

(Before It's News)

We had a stash of purple tomatoes recently and no chance they could be used quickly in salads or day-to-day meals. I therefore invented a recipe for tomato and marrow chutney:

• 1 kg tomatoes
• 750g apples peeled and cored
• 375g sugar
• 250g onions
• 500g marrow
• 1 green pepper
• 2 tsp salt
• half tsp ground ginger
• 400 ml cider vinegar

Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
