"Good with pork or poultry, and for gift giving. This makes 20-24 half pint jars, but since we can't put that in the servings, I have listed it as 80 servings for nutritional analysis."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Do not peel plums. Slice in half and remove pit.

Step 2

In a large flat-bottom, non-aluminum kettle, stir together all ingredients except allspice, cloves and cinnamon. Tie these in a square of double-thick cheesecloth and add to mixture.

Step 3

Heat mixture to boiling, stirring frequently. Reduce heat. Simmer 2 hours, stirring frequently, until chutney is thick and syrupy. Remove spice bag and discard.

Step 4

Thirty minutes before end of cooking, prepare 1/2 pint jelly jars. Preheat oven to 250°F Wash jars in hot soapy water and rinse. Place on oven rack and keep warm until ready to fill.

Step 5

Bring water in canning pot to a boil.

Step 6

Using a ladle, fill jars to 1/4 inch of top. Wipe rims clean with a damp, clean cloth. Put lid on jar and tighten ring. Place jars in lifter rack and process in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove jars to a wire rack and cool completely. Lids should pop. If any do not pop, store in refrigerator and use within a couple of weeks.

Step 7

Store sealed jars in a dark, cool place. Label with date.

I did make an adjustment or two to this recipe ~ I did not use capsicum, instead of raisins I used sultanas and added mustard seeds. But everything else was as per recipe. And what a lovely chutney this is! I love the slight hint of the ginger that comes through with every taste. This is going to be fantastic to use during the rest of this summer and over winter. This chutney will pair well with just about anything from meat and poultry to cheese, fruits and water crackers. I absolutely love this recipe and with the 12 jars I got I am sure to be enjoying this for some time to come. Thanks Mikekey, its a winner.
