Hi there, Question: what can we replace the Chinese 5 spice with if we don't have this spice. I am not sure what the Chinese spice tastes like as I have never used it before, so if you please maybe suggest something similar to the Chinese 5 spice. Thanx.

I made this for the first time and it has great flavour. I doubled the recipe as I had heaps of plums so cooked it for a bit longer than the recipe said to make sure it thickened. Used the tip for the thickening about letting the chutney cool and then reheating it before putting into the jar. seemed to work.

In a large saucepan place the plums, apples, onion, garlic and ginger. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil then reduce heat to a gentle boil cooking until the fruit has dissolved and the liquid reduced to a thick sauce (approx. 40-50 mins). Stir regularly.
Spoon into hot, sterilised glass jars and seal. Allow to cool, store in the refrigerator.
