step 1
Trim the ends of the runner beans (500 g) and slice them into 1 cm pieces. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Drop in the beans, and cook for 2 minutes, until just soft. Drain and pop into a bowl of ice water.
step 2
Put the large saucepan back onto the hob and add the onions (2) as well as half the vinegar (125 ml). Simmer for 10 minutes until the onions are soft.
step 3
Meanwhile, mix the cornflour (30 g), mustard seeds (1 tbsp), turmeric (1 tsp), curry powder (1 tbsp) and salt (1 tsp). Add 50ml of vinegar (50 ml) and mix to a paste.
step 4
Add the sugar (150 g), remaining vinegar (75 ml), 100ml of water and runner beans to the onions. Simmer together until boiling and then add the cornflour mixture. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes, stirring, and then reduce to a low simmer for 5 minutes, until the beans are tender and the chutney has thickened.
step 5
Pour into sterilised jars and screw on the lid. This will keep in a cool, dry place for two months.
step 6
Serve the chutney alongside cheddar (as needed) and crackers (as needed), if you like.
