Place the halved tomatoes, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, chilli, garlic and ginger in a pan and heat on low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat again and simmer, stirring occasionally for approximately 30 minutes until thickened to your liking. The jam will thicken a bit more when cooled.
Spoon into sterilised jars up to the top and screw the lids on. Store in a cool dark place and in the fridge after opening. Use within 6 months.
Notes
If you don't like your chutney too spicy, make sure to scrape out most/all of the seeds out of your chillies.
If you want your chutney set (like jelly), use jam sugar with added pectin.
