If you've got berries ( ie. redcurrants, blackcurrants) I'd try some Pepper Jelly first.
Off the top of my head, use 1 kg of Redcurrants, 2 kgs white sugar, about 600 ml of white wine vinegar, 10 hot red chilli peppers, seeds ( but not veins) removed) 1 tsp sea salt, juice of 1 lemon, 3 tbsps dry pectin.
BLITZ the redcurrants, vinegar, hot chillies, salt and lemon juice together. Place in a LARGE pot ( stainless steel) with the sugar, and bring to the boil. Be careful, because as soon as it begins to boil it could rise and pour over the edge - stir and stir and stir and lower the heat.
Allow to cook for about 20 minutes, until the foam has disappeared from the surface and the jelly is smooth.
Allow to cool for 20 minutes, then bring to a rapid boil and sprinkle the dry pectin on top. Stir to dissolve and then boil for two minutes.
Bottle immediately.
For Blackcurrants, use red wine vinegar, add two teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper, and all the other ingredients above.
Hey I've got to think about the chutney - my taste memory for redcurrants is about 25 yrs old...
