Preparation

1. Start by preparing the quince. Use a peeler to remove the skin, then cut the fruit down the middle. Next, chop each half into three or four wedges, cut out the core, then dice the wedges.

2. When you have prepared all the ingredients, heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat.

3. Add the shallots and garlic then cook, stirring often, until the shallots soften.

4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan, then bring the mixture to the boil.

5. Reduce to a low heat and simmer, uncovered, for about an hour. Make sure you stir the mixture occasionally - you’ll know it’s ready when the mixture reaches a thick, jammy consistency.

6. Let it fully cool, then transfer to a sterilized jar.

7. Serve this delicious chutney at room temperature.
