Lemon Chutney image

A lovely chutney adapted from a recipe found on www.Nigella.com. Plan to make this winter when the new citrus is in. Will make the house smell so good & be nice in Christmas baskets. Prep time does not include overnight soak of thinly sliced lemons, onions & raisins in spiced vinegar (told you the house would smell good!)

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chutney turned out too runny.
