Preserves and compotes

Making preserves is a perfect way to store fresh produce to use during the months ahead.  They are easy to make and so long as they are stored in clean, sterilised jars they will last for several months or even years.  Not only are they perfect for stocking up your cupboards, they also make a great homemade gift for family or friends.  Why not make a batch of easy red tomato chutney or sweet red onion chutney?
