Many years ago I used to make pumpkin chutney. My mum owned an allotment and for a couple of years she grew the most gigantic pumpkins. They were so big to cut into them we had to use a swore.
Once we had cut them open I made a really delicious pumpkin chutney. I gave a jar to my mums cousin who I call Auntie Marilyn. Marilyn occasionally reminds me of how much she enjoyed the chutney. Therefore when I had a pumpkin leftover from Halloween I had to make chutney with it. We really enjoyed it and we hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Root Vegetable Chutney – 24 Days of Christmas was a huge hit in our house. My husband Howard loves this chutney and was so excited to discover I had made it again. Chutney is very easy to prepare and cook. It is a brilliant gift to give to a relative or friend at this time of year. The chutney can be eaten with sandwiches, cold meats and cheeses as well. However you decided to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
