My first introduction to chutney was with what England calls a "ploughman's lunch". The following recipe is from my favourite cookbook "The Mary Moore Cookbook" (the one I would take with me to the tropical island or my favourite place, Mexico)
Wash, peel, core and chop apples. Chop onions and peppers. Add vinegar, turmeric and raisins. Simmer 1 hour, stirring often, then add remaining ingredients. Cook until thick and clear. Stir to avoid burning. Pour into sterilized jars. Seal, wash and label.
