Mrs Dickens's Caramelised Onion Chutney

From our Mrs Dickens's range, this caramelised onion chutney brings you the taste of the Victorian pantry. Onions are blended with dates, apples, spices and malt vinegar to create a gorgeously sweet and tangy chutney. Made exclusively for the Charles Dickens Museum, its the perfect gift, savoury treat or souvenir. 

Catherine Dickens, nee' Hogarth, was the wife of Charles Dickens from their marriage in 1836 till Dickens's death in 1870, though the couple separated in 1858. A renowned hostess and gregarious entertainer, Catherine published her own 'book of fares' in 1852 called 'What Shall We Have For Dinner?' Containing recipes and menus for groups of 2 to 12 people, it not only demonstrates Catherine's canny ability to host parties of all sizes, but it offers us a rare glimpse into what the Dickens family themselves often ate. 

This delicious chutney is made in England.
