Directions

Fill boiling water-bath canner two-thirds full of water. About 30 minutes before filling jars, bring to boil. Use only new lids and canning jars free of nicks and cracks. Wash, rinse and air-dry jars. Fifteen minutes before filling, place jars, funnel and a ½ cup metal measure in canner rack; boil for 15 minutes. Fill jars, using funnel and metal measure for ladling, leaving a ½-inch headspace. Avoid splashing chutney onto rim of jar; wipe rim if necessary. Centre lids on jars; screw on bands until finger tight. Return jars to canner. Cover and return to boil; boil for 10 minutes. Let jars cool on rack for 24 hours. Check that lids curve downward. (If any don't, refrigerate to use within 3 weeks.) Label and store in cool, dry, dark place for up to 1 year Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #144 Date: Tue, 9 Jul 1996 06:56:40 -0300 From: Calvin Deiterich <cedeiter@...>
