Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a dry frying pan until
aromatic. Tip into a mortar and coarsely grind with the pestle.
Toast the mustard seeds in the same pan until they start to
pop, then add to the other spices. Tip the spices into a large
pan with the chillies, onions, ginger and vinegar. Bring to the
boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the onions are softened.
Add the chopped apples, grapes, sugar and 1 tsp salt, and
bring to the boil, stirring. Boil hard, stirring from time to time,
for about 15-25 mins until the mixture is thick and pulpy.
Pot into warm sterilised jars (see tip, below), seal and label.
Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.
