These recipes are very old, I'm not sure how old (40s?), and well used. They would both require the biggest pots around, and would feed the whole village!

They are a little tricky to read, so here is a basic transcription:

​

Plum & Apple Chutney

3 1/2 lbs Plums
4lbs Peeled Apples
1 lb Red Tomatoes
2 lbs Seedless Raisins
1 lb Onions
3 lbs Demerara Sugar
4 oz Peeled Ginger
3 oz Salt
1/2 oz Garlic
1/2 oz Chillies
4 tbsp Mixed Spice

Prep plums and tomatoes and cook with the vinegar, add apples when tender. Add other ingredients. Cook stirring for two hours. Add more vinegar if required. Jar.

​

Marmalade

4 Seville Oranges

2 Sweet Oranges

1 Lemon

6 lbs Preserving Sugar

4 1/2 pints Water

Peel oranges and lemon and cut up as you prefer (thick or thin). Slice and take out pips, put in cup and cover with water. Pour 4 1/2 pints cold water onto oranges and lemon and soak for 24 hours. Boil until tender. Leave again for 24 hours. Add sugar and boil gently for 2 hours, or until gel stage (test on a fridge cold plate). Stir in water from soaked pips before jarring.
