2 onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
240g sultanas
2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper

1/2 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
pinch of ground cloves
900ml white vinegar

Combine all the ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan and gently bring to a simmer, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Continue simmering gently, stirring all the while, for 1 hour then take off the heat and ladle the chutney into cleaned and sterilized jars that have been warmed in the oven.
Seal with vinegar-proof lids and set aside to cool completely before storing in a cool dark, cupboard. Allow to mature for at least 3 weeks before using.
