I make chutney but from other fruits,

I make tomato chutney with the addition of apples.

a neighbour gives me plums (which I
also freeze and dry) and if I don't have any fresh fruit to use and I
remember I make date chutney.

I was given a jar of date chutney last Christmas, it was good. I was
also given a banana chutney, it was err.. different.

What is a dehydrator?

We love tomatoes.
