Ninja Foodi Method:
Place all of the prepared vegetables, EXCEPT the raisins and sugar, into the inner pot of the Ninja/Instant Pot/Crock pot.
Pour the vinegar in to the pot and stir to mix.
Turn the machine on and set it to the PRESSURE COOKER setting, HIGH for 5 minutes. Select start.When the time has elapsed, turn the pressure valve to open for a rapid release. Unlock the lid. Stir the chutney with a wooden spoon.
Add the chopped dates and the sugar and mix well.
With the lid open, turn the cooker on again and choose SAUTE/SEAR on HIGH.
Stirring all the time until there is no liquid left when you drag a wooden spoon over the base of the pan. (Do NOT over cook though, the consistency needs to be wet and not too dry) This usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Spoon or pour the chutney whilst still hot into warm jars and seal straight away with screw lids or rubber seals for hinged jars.
Store in a dark, cool place to mature for 6 weeks before using. Once opened, store in the fridge.
