Gather all your ingredients and measure them accurately to ensure a well-balanced chutney. Peel and chop the apples, onions, and tomatoes into small pieces.
In a generously sized pot, combine the sultanas or raisins with the spiced pickling vinegar. Allow the mixture to soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor infusion. Once the soaking process is complete, add in the freshly chopped apples, onions, and green tomatoes. Stir in the salt and sugar until a harmonious blend of flavors is achieved. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring occasionally to ensure all ingredients are evenly cooked.
Time to let it simmer! Reduce the heat to low and allow the chutney to cook for 2 hours, with occasional stirring. While the chutney is simmering, take this time to sterilize your jars by washing them in hot soapy water.
Once the chutney reaches a thick, jam-like consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Using a sterilized spoon, carefully transfer the chutney into your jars and seal them tightly for storage.
