Being a bit of a cheese lover I would love to hear what you lot put on your cheddar!

I'll start with an unusual one, cornish chilli jam, its the daddy!

I so want cheese, biscuits, canalised onion, chili jam and rhubarb chutney now.

Sounds immense!

Apricot preserve, cornish blue, water biscuit.

Hnnnnnng!!!!

If it grew in the garden, it usually ended up in a jar or bottle, I can remember as a kid large preserve pans bubbling away, & the larder full of jars of homemade goodies.

My Dad makes a great tomato, apple and onion chutney all grown in his vege patch I want him to start making ketchup

Hang the traitor!!!

You cant get a huge selection in a supermarket, you get a very narrow range of mediocre big brand ones..

I dunno about that, this looks quite nice!

Looks, tesco finest is far from fine.

The ingredients look perfectly good to me, a distinct lack of preservatives, flavorings and general nasties. Probably not as nice as home made, but still pretty good.

Unless you are the type of super anal providence chasing foodie snob, that is

=/ flavour

Tesco finest chutney range is not good at all. Either lacking flavour or totally unbalanced profiles.

Snob? Or just someone who likes decent tasting stuff and don't mind paying the extra. Just being expensive and small producer does not make something good. Look at my comments about cambridge chilli sauces i got last month.

I'm perfectly happy to accept that Tesco's finest chutneys are not the last word in quality or taste. But they are generally a perfectly acceptable addition to a tasty cheese cracker, or at least they were the last time I bought some about 18 months ago

Don't even bother arguing with Glaucus. It's a massive waste of time

true dat

My mum makes a lovely chutney. Well actually she makes a lovely lot of things - jam, marmalade, pickle, chutney, cakes. I'm blessed I think Latest is banana chutney. Really sweet but so gooooood.

No way, banana chutney? Interesing! Would like to try

However, my favourite is my own home made rhubarb chutney:

Spiced Rhubarb Chutney
• 2lb rhubarb
• 10.5 oz onions
• 10.5 oz eating apples
• 5oz dates
• 5oz dried apricots
• 26 fl oz white wine vinegar
• 1 lb 8 oz soft brown sugar
• 2.5 tspn salt
• 2/3rds tsp cayenne pepper
• 2/3rds tsp ground cloves
• 2/3rds tsp cinnamon
• 1 + 1/3rd tsp ground ginger

Chop all the fruit and vegetables, add the vinegar, sugar and spices and bring slowly to the boil, stirring now and again. Simmer for about two hours (don't forget to stir as it will stick) until thick. Pour into heated jars and seal.

You can use malt vinegar but if you do you need to keep it for 3 months before you eat any of it. White wine vinegar for the win (and for the inpatient!)

Sounds propper lush! As big tom kerridge would say
