Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Pinch of ground cloves
1/3tsp ground cumin
5tbsp sherry vinegar
5tbsp balsamic vinegar
1tbsp brown sugar
1tbsp redcurrant jelly
1tbsp tomato purée
1tsp cornflour
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and gently cook the onions, garlic, ginger and all the herbs and spices until they are soft. Add the vinegars, sugar, redcurrant jelly, tomato purée and 150ml water, and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Mix the cornflour with a little water and stir it into the chutney. Continue to simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes until the liquid has almost evaporated. If the liquid evaporates completely, add a little more water.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the chutney cool. Serve within a few days or store in a sterilised Kilner jar in the fridge. The chutney will keep for up to a year if you seal the jars by immersing in boiling water and simmering for 15 minutes.
