Blueberry chutney

This chutney is delicious with lamb, beef, game and poultry, or simply with cheese and crackers.

3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 large onion
1 apple
2 cloves garlic
1 cup sultanas
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ - ½ teaspoon chilli powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup soft brown sugar
¾ cup wine or cider vinegar
½ teaspoon each of cinnamon, allspice, curry powder and ginger

Put the blueberries in a fairly large saucepan. Chop in a food processor or mince together the onion, unpeeled apple, garlic, and sultanas. Pieces should be evenly small, but not pureed. Add flavourings, sugar and vinegar, and simmer gently for 2 hours, checking flavour and adding extra chilli during this time, if desired. Bottle in small sterilised jars.
