Plum Chutney

I had a whole bunch of plums one year, and wanted a chutney that would sing and dance on my tongue. This is what i came up with, and i think it's pretty darn good. If you can't find keffir lime leaves (at a vietnamese or chinese grocery) add the zest of large lime instead.

Steps

Wash , pit and chop the plums.
Wearing gloves , stem , seed and chop the peppers.
Put the plums , cranberries and peppers in a large kettle.
Add the ginger , peeled and grated.
Add the water , sugar , vinegar and spices.
Put the jars into a large canning kettle , and cover with water to an inch above the tops of the jars.
Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes to sterilize.
Simmer the fruit mixture until thickened , about 20 minutes.
Remove the keffir lime leaves and cardamom.
Pack into hot sterilized jars and seal with lids sterilized according to the manufacturers instructions.
Boiling water process 15 minutes.
