It is looking likely that, after many years, we will have to find my mother's chutney recipe. When we had our house in France the area we were in killed off everything that we grew in the solanum family with a blight. That is tomato and potato. Now back in the UK we can grow tomatoes with impunity in my wife's greenhouse. Only 6 plants but they are laden with fruit. They have just started ripening and already we are inundated. Friends and neighbours avoid us so as not to be given yet another bag of them! I have always wondered though how green tomato chutney came out brown!

Horrible stuff!  What you need are a few peppers, aubergines, courgettes, onions and garlic cloves. Make a big panful of ratatouille and sterilise it in Kilner jars. Wonderful base for soups and sauces all winter long.... |

Aubergines are members of the solanum family also. To us they are tasteless rubbish. However we cook them they turn black.  |

Will use coriander but we are not so keen on cumin. Note for Lidl tomorrow. "Buy an aubergine"  |

I will ask Jen , the exact way to do it , she is the aubergine wizard and had never eaten them before coming to France.
