Chilli-Ginger Greengage Chutney

This is yummy. If you can face it, halve the greengages and take the stones out, otherwise, just leave them in and warn people not to swallow them. Leave at least a couple of months before eating. With cheese.

3 Bramley apples, cored and chopped

1 tsp peppercorns
1 tsp sea salt
1.5litres white wine vinegar
