This was easy to make and tasted fab. I didn't have any garlic but it didn't seem to make any difference. I will defo make this again. - 21 Sep 2012
I tasted the chutney before I put it in jars. It seemed a bit salty so maybe I didn't rinse it enough? I'll leave it to mature for a month or so then taste it again. - 01 Oct 2013
I made this for the first time yesterday (it's my first ever try at chutney). I tried it before putting it in the last jar and it was really tasty. Sweet and slightly hot, with a good tang. I can only assume it will improve with age. I hope so, as I'm planning to have this on Christmas day! I'll definitely be making this again as we nearly always have a glut of courgettes and marrows. Update after Christmas: It was absolutely fabulous. Not only did we have this on Christmas day, but I gave jars of it away as presents and everyone has commented on how good it was. Thanks so much for this recipe, I'm sure I'll be making it every year now. - 11 Sep 2014
