Spicy Honey Sweetened Cherry Chutney Recipes

SPICY HONEY SWEETENED CHERRY CHUTNEY RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients to a large pot (6 qt. or larger) and stir well.
• Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to cook at a soft boil (about medium-low). Stir often as the chutney reduces, cooking for about an hour. It is ready when it's reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 and has a thickened consistency.
• While the chutney is cooking, prepare your canning jars, lids and pot according to these directions. You will need to wash and keep 4 to 5 pint jars or 9 to 10 half pint jars warm. (You can also choose to freeze the chutney if you don't wish to can - simply add it to freezer containers leaving 1-1/2 inch headspace.)
• When the chutney is reduced and thickened, turn the heat to low and ladle the chutney into each prepared jar with a 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rims, attach lids and process for 15 minutes in a boiling water canner. Remove to a towel-lined surface and let sit for 12 hours before checking seals, labeling, and storing in a cool, dark place.
• Canned condiments like chutney should be used within a year to a year and a half.
