I made this chutney today and it is wonderful, in fact it was quite edible today! It was very easy to make and all ingredients were readily accessible. The recipe made 7 half pint jars. My only substitutes were one fresh chopped jalepeno pepper instead of the cayenne pepper and I added one teaspoon of curry powder. I put the chutney in the jars, put on the lids and processed them in boiling water until the lids popped.
Thank you for the recipe. We will be enjoying it with Christmas dinner.
