directions
- 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.

Was gonna keep tabs on the time involved when I made this recipe, but I got so totally involved with the preparation that I forget to record the times! That said, I found a great new way to prepare my canning jars, thanks to this recipe! Seven of the jars went into holiday baskets for friends, & the rest are safely in my own pantry! This is an ABSOLUTELY GREAT TASTING CHUTNEY! Only two things were changed ~ I included zest from all 3 oranges & I was stingy with the hot pepper flakes! Without a doubt, this is a keeper for me! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag]
