Garden chutney

There was a tempting array of chutneys and pickles in Bill's at the weekend

but I remembered that

this little lot was waiting for me at home

and it would be flying in the face of all

the grow-your-own, cook-your-own exhortations

(even if you only have a window box -

am I the only person to find this a mite hard to take

from people pushing groaning wheelbarrows of basil around their rolling acres? )

not to turn them into

glutney.

It took a while.

Well all afternoon actually,

and now it is too dark to show you the money shots.

Still too dark in the morning so had to crank up the exposure.
