Silver Spoon Fruity Chutney
Chock full of fruity flavours, this chutney is delicious! The recipe should make about 10 cups, so here's a chance to batch-cook enough chutney for your pantry. Delicious with curries. Actually, chutneys go with all red and grilled meats, should be an ingredient in barbecue sauces and can be added to sandwich fillings. Especially good with corned meats. Prep time is a wild guess: i haven't timed it.
Steps
Sterilise canning jars by putting them on an oven tin in a cold oven , and heating oven to 325 deg f / 160 deg c for at least 10 - 15 minutes.
Handle carefully when taking them out -- take out the entire tin with the bottles.
Less mess.
Combine all the prepared ingredients in a large dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.
Bring to boil over high heat , then turn heat down and simmer , stirring now and then.
Simmer open until the fruits are tender and the mixture has the consistency of a preserve or relish.
Ladle into the hot sterilised jars , and seal.
Well-sealed , this will keep almost forever.
