After preparing our marrow yesterday with salt to draw out the moisture, we were ready for the next step in our ‘team chutney’ challenge.

Sian and her neighbour donated a variety of tomatoes. Izzy and Alba brought in apples from their trees at home too. The rest of the ingredients were bought in store.

The boys and girls chopped and prepared the following ingredients and added it to the washed and drained home grown marrow.

Apples
Tomatoes
Plums
Sultanas
Ginger
Malt Vinegar
Demerara Sugar

We applied our maths skills to the task too. We used division to reduce recipe quantities. We also practised weight and capacity to measure dry and wet ingredients by reading scales for quantity. Everything was then mixed together and simmered slowly for several hours to thicken and blend.

We then enjoyed the chutney with a mix of crackers . The children really liked the flavour. There were seconds and even thirds devoured!

Here is our recipe:
