Dave’s Three Generation Apple Chutney *Veganuary Bonus Recipe*

As our Veganuary recipe share comes towards its end, we’ve decided to share something rather special…

Here is Dave’s “Three Generation Apple Chutney”. The recipe (pictured) was hand-written by Dave’s grandmother, before being passed down to his mother, who made a few amendments. The recipe was then handed on to Dave, whose wife Rachel has made some tweaks of her own – hence, three generations! Simple to make and absolutely delicious. Sometimes the old ones really are the best…
