Chutney Phase 1

Our neighbour has an orchard. Foolishly I must have mentioned  to him that I missed having apple trees and used to make lots of chutney in the old house. He keeps bringing me buckets of apples. They keep going off and getting chucked on the compost.  I am feeling guilty. This afternoon I spent three hours peeling, coring, chopping  and putting all the not mouldy or brown bits  in bags in the freezer so at least they will be around when I feel the urge to make chutney, which had better be this side of Christmas because I am sure he'd like a few jars.
