Gooseberry Chilli Relish

Gooseberries are not just for desserts and puddings.

This spicy relish is great with cheese dishes.

Ingredients:
500g gooseberries
150g caster sugar
60ml red-wine vinegar
15ml freshly grated ginger
2 red chillies, very thinly sliced
salt

Method:
Put half the gooseberries, the sugar, vinegar ginger and chillies in a medium pan, add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil, simmering for 25-35 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Break up the fruit with a hand blender.
Add the remaining gooseberries and cook for a further 10-15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and cool before serving, or if bottling, pour immediately into prepared sterilised bottles.
