Makes 4 jars
Chutney makes a delicious and cheap gift. Make this chutney now, and it will be ready to give as Christmas presents to your friends, neighbours and family. It is delicious with cheese and pate. Make sure that you have a jar set aside for your boxing day lunch! Stoning the damsons takes a fair amount of time but the end result is worth it.

FAB ... the very best kind of present, far nicer than anything you could buy.
Plums, do you think, if there aren't any damsons?

Mmm...chutney. One of the first things I learned to make at college. It was mango chutney, but I am thinking a lovely damson chutney would go down really well with some lovely slices of moist roast pork ... dangit I'm hungry again!
This is a really interesting recipe for damsons and I'll have to give it a try.
I am just about to make my second batch of this chutney.....it is truly deicious and couldn´t be easier! Can´t get damsons in my part of the world but plums work just fine. Thanks Hannah!!
